Is there a place for religion in modern society?

I think this is an interesting topic. I don't think religion still has the same importance as it did when our parents or grandparents were growing up. We are a changing world and I think our views on religion are also changing. Younger people now don't go to mass as often. Why? I think working plays a part, a Saturday night out will also have an impact and I also think it can come down to plain laziness. I myself would regularly attend mass but if someone was to say to me to skip it I can honestly say I don't think id think twice or that I would feel guilty because of it. However I do think people have faith they just don't practice it regularly. I think when you come into trouble, when something bad happens to you or someone you know you will go right back to your faith. You will say a prayer for them or maybe even just be thinking of a dead relative or friend asking them will watch over them. I think people are changing too. Its not like it was before where you went to school, got a job, got married and lived happily ever after. More and more people are starting to go traveling, jobs are so different than they were 20 years ago, and also people are starting realise their sexuality and become more open about it. I think that these factors could all be a reasons that could effect peoples religion . I always find this amusing when you go into mass on a Christmas eve or on Christmas day you need to go early so you get a seat. Everybody goes to mass for Christmas but why? I don't understand why people feel they need to go to mass for Christmas but they miss it every other Sunday of the year. I know I sound like a priest preaching but that always amazes me. I don't believe people are going because they really really want to but more that they have to or the simple fact that it would really be bad to miss Christmas mass. I definitely think that religion in todays world is fading away. I never heard of anybody or know of anyone who wants to become a nun or a priest. whats going to happen when all the old nuns and priests die? Who will say mass then? Will we have to "import" nuns and priests from other countries?
