Can this be the coming of the New age of enlightenment?

Nope, just showing that in a society where killing an eagle lands you in jail with heavy fines while at the same time aborting your baby is considered your "right", the spread of influence by the great enemy will continue to grow.

Isaiah 5:20

New King James Version (NKJV)

Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

I suspect that the topic is about athiests and not Buddhists, so therefore what Buddhists may or may not think is irrelevant to the subject.

I'm not speaking of the survey, only the topic of discussion.

Religion is nothing but a cancer on humanity.
