The Evidential Reformation (Term coined by Michael Dowd) is a movement based on the idea that the time has come for all of the religious world to replace belief with evidence based knowledge. Humanity has evolved to where reality itself has to be incorporated into religious doctrine and can no longer be shoved aside by faith.
The Evidential Reformation is the transition into Religion 3.0 where we have a world view that is based on the authority of evidence, what actually is real, rather than what one chooses to believe through faith. Religion 1.0 was the Authority of the elders, Religion 2.0 was the authority of scripture. We now know that our existence is driven by evolution and that the universe is about 13.82 billion years old. As young people leave the church in droves Religions that ignore evidence based knowledge will be Left Behind.
