    From the page: "Spain proves that societies do not fall apart when they give up religion and almost everything that was illegal for religious reasons, becomes legal."

    I often think of how much better off society could be without religion. As Spain shows, things don't fall apart - in many cases things improve.

A good education will do. Spain and Italy have less policemen, violent crime and people in jail per inhabitant than the United States, which happens to be the last, mostly religious, wealthy country on earth."

    This is an excellent article showing the decline of religion in Spain and no doubt will be of great comfort and hope to the somewhat beleaguered Atheist movement across the water in the US. It is particularly interesting to note that the catholic church supported the fascist dictator Franco and with his death and the establishment of democracy, it has now quite rightly lost it's influence in what is now considered to be quite a liberal society.
