>>religion has well passed it's sell by date, what was written even yesterday has only relevence to yesterday.<<



IMO, the term "religion" is a meaningless essentialism. There is no such thing as religion. There are only different systems which some people have elected to call "religions." In other words, using the same term (such as religion) for differing phenomena does not make these phenomena the same.



>>people of a religious bent tend to adhere to yesterdays news.<<



Again, I do not know what a "religious bent" is. It is important to first specify the particular religious tradition. Then, to explain the branch (sect, denomination, etc.) of that religion that particular groups of people belong to.



For instance: Religion is not a group. Christianity is not a group. The Baptists are not a group. On the other hand, the Southern Baptist Conference or Free Will Baptists are a group.



>>shall we create a new 'religion'?<<



Who is "we"?
