You're seeing as a perspective from your times, trust me, ages ago there where disbelievers. You can't say it's getting easier when you weren't around ages ago, it may seem like it's getting more and that people disbeleive now, but for ****s sake, why should we? why shouldn't we?
There isn't a good ground to stand on, on either side.
You either beleive and get berated for beleiving, or you don't beleive and you get berated for not beleiving, if it's not something someone holds dear, why suffer such attacks? It's easier to not care. Why get mixed up in something we will most likely never know the truth on?
