BBC News - Religion may become extinct in nine nations, study says

As religion takes a a secondary place to government, the utility of religion as a community binder or as an important social and spiritual center of human everyday life is reduced.

The team took census data stretching back as far as a century from countries in which the census queried religious affiliation: Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.
