Both, neither, yes, no, depends. "Reality" is a very big phenomena, and so is "religion". Does who's version of reality expand or contract with which version of which religion?Does reality increase with the decline of religion and faith, and vice versa?
I find that it increases faith and religion. Reality many times needs changes.Does reality increase with the decline of religion and faith, and vice versa?
Why would it?Does reality increase with the decline of religion and faith, and vice versa?
you're suggesting that mental matters are limited to the lack of suffering mankind must experience before loving change will occur?I find the decline is proving the reality as found in the Bible as accurate.
Religious 'waters' (people) are drying up spiritually before mankind will see divine involvement in mankind's affairs.
it could if they are seen as mutually exclusive based on form vs action.Why would it?
reality based on psychological growth and recognizing similarity of actions vs differences in form based on language, symbolism, culturalism, or tribalism.What is designated as reality for the purposes of this question? What characterizes its increase?
anything that increases a greater idea of community and world view, or religion. or decreases, one's idea of nationalism or diminishes boundaries between self and others as self. defense of one's idea about self are permissable, we allow this in immature, or young people. what we don't do is offend others by projecting ideas of self on to others, that is offensive.What is understood to be decline of religion and faith? Number of adherents, perhaps?
whose reality needs changed?I find that it increases faith and religion. Reality many times needs changes.

Nor does non belief have anything to do with anything as well its Co equally nonsense in particular to the topic God or nature for that matter.Religion and/or the belief in a religion has absolutely no effect on reality. So I don't understand the question.
people like me. I needed my reality to change.whose reality needs changed?

Not necessarily. Sometimes under adverse conditions people become more aware of having a spiritual need, but it doesn't have to be that way. I chose ' loving change ' under good conditions. Choosing to follow Christ for me have proven the words of Matthew 10:22 to be true that one would be hated, and that hatred has caused me adverse conditions in one way or another.

reminds me of an einstein quote.I believe a lack of imagination means no electricity, no TV no radio, no music, no art. It would be a very dismal world in my opinion.
As for a lack of religion, I believe that leads to unreality.
