Analyzing the widespread and pronounced decline in traditional religious beliefs and practices, this panel will seek to analyze the current state of religion and it’s possible replacement by secularism. The discussion will also touch on the relationship between religion and science, the impact of social media on religious beliefs and practices, and the role of religion in shaping moral values.
