Sorry, I don't buy this. I think religion is now starting on the 
upswing again, and there will be many centuries ahead where people 
die in fear of the Divine, and many centuries where they don't. I 
don't buy the "world heads in one direction" theory at all.

But that's a contradiction of what I said. I said JKR is not at all 
reflecting culture as it is today, and not even trying to. :-) 
Otherwise, interesting perspective.
