Ghost- The soul of a dead person believed to appear to the living in bodily likeness.
Note: This data comes from a July 12, 2005 Gallup Research Poll that can be seen here. It is possible that some of the data could of changed as 9 years have past. This however allows to view the long term trend. It is to note that the pictures given below come from the July 12, 2005 Gallup Poll. That being said it appears the percentage of Americans who believe in ghosts has stayed the same or even gone up to 45%. (Source 1)
Around 1/3rd of Americans believe ghosts exist. Contray to common thought it is actually the younger generation and the more politically liberal that seems to support the existence of ghosts. This is definitely ironic considering the facts that other supernatural phenomena such as God is not believed in as much in the liberal political camp. Although that being said, most people would expect both of them due to the common sterotype that liberals doubt supernatural phenomena. Does that reflect evidence for them?

If I am going to start this series might as well start with one of the most famous and most debated films of all-time and that is 2001: A Space Odyssey. It has polarized critics and audiences everywhere ranging from it being one of the worst films of all-time to one of the best. Although, reception from critics has improved in recent years, audiences haven't been as kind. So was it overrated or not?

The decline of religion is unstoppable. It is in my humble opinion the fact that I believe Christianity or at least following it meaningfully and effecting politics will significantly decline in the next century. Some point to areas such as the increasing "Christianization" of Africa as proof that Christianity will not decline in the world and point to films such as God Loves Uganda as proof. Here is why I believe it will decline and believe that the above
Firstly, I will focus on the obvious, religion has been declining in the public life for years. It has lost in the public sphere on the culture wars, modern feminism, while things such as gay marriage are now inevitable and unstoppable. I would not even be shocked if the Southern Baptist Convention apologises on the issue like they did with slavery in 50 years. Thinking anything else is simple wishful thinking.
Even things such as church services have declining in recent years. This following graph below symbolizes church attendence for Roman Catholics. Again, it shows a decline of religion.
I also see a popular opinion from videos such as this which supports the idea that Christianity will magically take over African countries. This is untrue as well if anyone wants to challenge me. I am running out of space so I will simply back my ideas up in the comments below.
Free Will- Being able to choose ones desires and actions not based on the laws of nature. (People can't simply be wound up and it is possible for them to choose differently at the same situtation at time.)
