Now it seems you have joined the herd and like everyone else here are satisfied with pasting links to articles that other people have authored.
No one opens these links. Try this small experiment. Look at the number of times a link has been viewed. Post the link on Goanet and look at the number of recorded viewers two days later. That number will have increased by a dozen, if you are lucky. Here in the west, it is becoming increasingly clear that people do not want to depend on charity when bad times come by. As such, the govt has introduced birth to grave social programs that guarantee a certain standard of life. Food, housing, education, health and retirement benefits remove the burden on the religious to give to charity and put the onus of contributing on all members of society. Yes, including the non-religious. MervynBTW, even though I am currently in the US, I could not open your link.
