I think I understand your meaning, but I think 'Religion is dying' is a confusing way to say it. Maybe you mean religion is changing. Its the people who can't recognize and accept that who are in for a surprise. Its always changing.
I don't know if this is really something that could cause religion to die. It sounds like you feel there are some bad religions and expect that a bad religion will die by itself, but I don't see any evidence that will always happen. Often patience is the only thing that can change bad to good, and we just have to find ways to endure and improve. Bottom line you have not justified the opinion that religion will fail just because it fails to meet needs.
Spirituality is not religion? Those who are inflexible, who think that a stiff boat is better than a flexible one, I think you are singling them out as religious. Basically you seem to be pointing at conservatives. That is not what religious means. It means making a continuous effort to produce a good outcome. A daily exercise regime is religious for example, but you can change what exercises you use. Lets say that there is a Baptist who is going out once a week to take care of homeless folks. That is a religious activity, and his religion is not dying out unless.... What if the homeless shelter he has been visiting closes, but he keeps going there even though there are no homeless people to serve? He just likes to go there now and refuses to stop, because he thinks the shelter shouldn't have moved. Then his religion dies because he has been too conservative to adapt to where the homeless are. If he simply finds the new homeless shelter and goes there, then his religion continues.
I can't disagree with that!
