I would say that ignorance evaporates as society progresses. Ignorance being that which can be disproven. And I think most would agree that disentangling ignorance from religion can only be good.
I'll disagree in advance with any assertion (not aimed at any single poster) that religion = ignorance.

You're right. I can't quite articulate it correctly, that brush was a little too broad.
I would say ignorant people are more likely to be religious but that doesn't mean religious people are ignorant.
However on a broader sociological scale religion is on the decline and has been as science and technology have progressed. The only places religion seems to be growing are either stagnant or going backwards. Before you denounce me, show me a vibrant, forward looking economically growing society that is becoming *more* religious.
