Well - it's how a lot of people (especially from the west of Europe) are thinking now. But don't forget , guys, there are some people they need some religion, some hope and believe in eternal life etc. In the world with so big hate between the people , in he world without any authority - what do You think - why so many people were followed John Paul the Second? Every his visit - so many people near him (including older and younger people). They didn't care he was also conservative "as hell", but they loved him and they wanted to listen to him. Look how many people were followed him at his last way (funeral). It wasn't in the history before so many people (and so many VIP's) at funeral of any country leader. So - telling - "religion and popes should go to museum" - may hurt a lot of people.
Yes - not everybody need a faith to live right. But the faith is the grace of god - not everyone may experience and feel it.
