Along with tens of thousands of others, yesterday I visited a large cathedral, but to shop not pray.  The huge retail parks that have sprung up in recent years on the edge of our cities, along with the football stadiums, have taken over as the congregational places for humanity.  It seems that over millenia all religion has been hijacked by the money makers, and either willingly or unconciously the population of at least the UK are leaving the churches in droves.  No more bible or koran, instead individuals are either becoming atheistic/amoral, or else finding the Divine within themselves.  I regularly chat with what I flippantly call the 'upstairs department', but it's advice and suggestions rather than doctrine.  At the end of the day, religion is about disempowerment of the individual in favour of religious coffers.  Ask yourself as to who is the richest groups in the world?  The churches, that's who, and whilst they acrue wealth the world starves.  Enough of these false gods I say - let individuals decide their beliefs for themselves.
