re: #358 Iron Fist
Taken quite a few actually, have a degree in engineering. Luckily for me, my personal experience has been quite different from yours.
I know there are crazies on each side of the coin. But honestly, I do not believe we are in any danger of turning into an atheistic society. Religion is too ingrained into American society and culture for that. I think the danger lies more in the dumbing down of our educational system to the point where people really think that creationism/ID should replace real scientific education. And that their feelings about math are more important than their knowledge of it. We are already outsourcing engineering work to India and Russia.
