I have been saying this for several year, and now here is the first piece of evidence. Decline ended about five years ago, and now we are on the upswing.

So, is the enthrallment of the monistic Enlightenment view of a purely physical universe in terminal decline?

I suspect so, it was never satisfying for the vast majority anyway, I think in the not so distant future we will finally see an acceptence among the intellectual elite that one can accomodate both spiritual and scientific world views together without undue anguish.

The irony here is that nothing has done so much to raise the profile of religion favourably as the slew of books decrying it as nonsense and attempting to talk down to and bully their audience.
