A recent Princeton study suggests people become more religious as they get older. The study confirms predictions of Mill, Weber, etc. and anyone who has ever been to a church. Here are some inferences I will make about the next 30 years if this and other trends hold true.
The baby boomers are turning 70, 80, and 90 in the next 30 years. The resulting geriatric phenomenon will render churches full and conservative on the rise. The Religious Right will triple in size, giving a 85% advantage to the Republican party in the 2020 election. The divine dictator that the group will elect will institute mosaic law, enact prohibition, and mandate the compulsory reading of The Purpose Drive Life. .
