As knowledge increases gods become less and less real!!! GODS ARE THE WANTS AND WISHES OF THE UNEDUCATED, ONCE EDUCATED GODS JUST DISAPPEAR!!!
The absolute opposite!
The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!
Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.
Research has shown atheists have a higher intelligence than people with a strong religious faith. The difference is 5.8 points according to findings in developmental psychology!
More members of the "intellectual elite" considered themselves atheists than the national average.
Only 7 per cent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God. Whilst only 3.3 per cent believed in God in the UK’s Royal Society.
Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQ’s tend not to believe in God."
Neuroscientists have conducted the most comprehensive brain mapping to date of the cognitive abilities measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the most widely used intelligence test in the world.
The results show that the various factors that comprise a high or low IQ score
depend on particular regions of the brain.
The WAIS test is composed of four indices of intelligence, each consisting of several subtests, which together produce a full-scale IQ score. The four indices are the verbal comprehension index, which represents the ability to understand and to produce speech and use language; the perceptual organization index, which involves visual and spatial processing, such as the ability to perceive complex figures; the working memory index, which represents the ability to hold information temporarily in mind (similar to short-term memory); and the processing speed index.
With the exception of processing speed, which appears scattered throughout the brain, the lesion mapping showed that the other three cognitive indices really do depend on specific brain regions.
For example, lesions in the left frontal cortex were associated with lower scores on the verbal comprehension index; lesions in the left frontal and parietal cortex (located behind the frontal lobe) were associated with lower scores on the working memory index; and lesions in the right parietal cortex were associated with lower scores on the perceptual organization index.
The study also revealed a large amount of overlap in the brain regions responsible for verbal comprehension and working memory, which suggests that these two now-separate measures of cognitive ability may actually represent the same type of intelligence, at least as assessed using the WAIS.
It matters not if they are atheist because of this new type of intelligence or get it because they are atheist – it is a totally different and far more efficient process!!

First, man can't phase out a Supernatural Being (meaning above man).
Second, as knowledge increases, man knows he is too finite, that there must be an infinite, and that he had better figure out what He wants.
Surprise,surprise:Here comes Jesus! Too late.The end.they think they are progressive & enlightened but they are on lock and headed for a dead end.Until then we will have a rough rd and then a new beginning God and earth one.Endure until the end.Yeah,I know you say BS or whatever or non-sense.So be it.That don't change the eventualities.Do what you will with us,but when God comes down,it's over so since you won't change then enjoy your limited time frame.We have none.
Schools and universities,etc helped us to put questions and queries; God was created by men for men
Riiiight, that;s why it worked so well following the bible. Don't mind that 1000 year period call the Dark Ages, where virtually NO new knowledge came about
False. Unless your God is merely the "God of the Gaps" this makes absolutely no sense.
Knowledge and education increases, people stop believing in ancient and very silly superstitions.
It's not a matter of 'phasing out' god - it's coming to the realisation that he never existed.
atheism = mental illness.
