Declining influence of religious certitude

In reference to the last question about decline of fundamentalism, there could be a decline in influence but the danger persists since a lone bomber could take out most of New York. Just heard a few minutes ago that some group was arrested for trying to buy 38 lbs. of radioactive bomb material for millions of dollars. We must be as diligent for a few as for many as long as fundamentalist belief remains a certainty.

Somehow, preventive education in the minds of those likely candidates to becoming fundamentalists must be utilized to form an appreciation of Fact in relation to Belief. Public schools in Modesto, Cal might have the answer to teaching religions in schools.
