I dont understand why we have to go back to Christianity to survive.
Look at the east asians. They do fine without Christianity (japan/korea) or religion (china).
I see no decline in productivity or creativity when i take a look at my atheist friends.
Criptix your idea that the east asians are without Christianity with the exception of the Japanese could not be further from reality. See the links below for more information.

Is it true that Man is a primarily religious being?

That was a most interesting piece, but perhaps a tad pessimistic. Maybe not though, ITALIANS over here do not seem happy nor joyous. We will be seeing more Europeans before long, I'll check them out and report in, smile.

Yes well Charlton is from the UK which may increase his pessimism. I remain hopeful that the USA can branch away from declining Europe and perhaps even pull the UK with us but time will tell.
I am also optimistic regarding the long term prospects of east Asia except for Japan.
