Religion is Dying in Switzerland, Home Base of the International Baccalaureate

I have been warning communities that adopt the International Baccalaureate education curriculum, deeply rooted in Marxist beliefs like the redistribution of wealth, that devaluing religion is a concern community members should take. The IB curriculum doesn't hide its pantheist views, the view that the Universe (Nature) and God are identical. Pantheists thus do not believe in a personal, anthropomorphic or creator god.

Schools that adopt the IB curriculum give up local controls to the international body located in Switzerland, who all but reports to the United Nations. Consider this curriculum and compare it to the study released today that religion is becoming almost extinct in nine countries around the globe including Switzerland, the home of the IB.

According to a new study by the American Physical Society (APS) using census data, religion in nine countries is slowly dying — and, as the BBC puts it, may even become “extinct.”

Those countries include Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

The study was published earlier this year and recently unveiled at an APS meeting in Dallas. It uses a mathematical model to “account for the interplay between the number of religious respondents and the social motives behind being one,” the BBC reports. The result is scary: “religion will all but die out altogether in those countries.”

One of the study’s authors, Richard Wiener of the Research Corporation for Science Advancement and the University of Arizona, explained to the BBC that “The idea is pretty simple.”

“It posits that social groups that have more members are going to be more attractive to join, and it posits that social groups have a social status or utility,” he said.

Translation: it seems it’s becoming popular not to be religious — and the more popular that becomes, the more people will join.

Now if Switzerland doesn't value religion, why do we want the Swiss influencing our values in the United States educational venues, like Ozark High School in Missouri, when its obvious organizations like IB are doing great harm around the world to values we hold dear.
