What I'm saying is, that 2,000 years ago, there was a lot more "proof" for the divine because of the ignorance of mankind.
If you had never heard of tectonic plates, what would you have thought caused an earthquake? And angry god maybe?
With so much understanding that mankind now has of the physical environment, a lot more pure faith is required to believe in God, because all of that "proof" that existed for our ancestors has been explained as other things.
I'm not in anyway trying to sleight religion here. If anything, in my thinking, it's a lot purer today then in was in the past.
