Satyansh,-As arguably the most opinionated (and possibly most full of Bullshit on this board) I welcome you and will attempt to engage you here!-I think that Western civilization is already "godless." Sure, 85% of Americans are Christian, but the watered-down views of today's Christians would have been death 150 years ago! -My favorite Philosopher is Frederich Nietzsche; he identified in his time that God was already moving away from being the center of all civilization and philosophy; he was concerned with what to do with that. His views are probably more Buddhist than Hindu, but the overall tolerance is there. -My culture made a terrible mistake about 1800 years ago when it decided to canonize its holy books and stopped having conversations with its Gods...-But back to your main question, if you look at Europe, it is already a conglomerate of atheistic nations; and while I don't necessarily agree with some of the more socialistic policies, I do recognize that religious tolerance is clearly more observed over there than it is here in my country of the USA.

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
