One idea that I wish that more religious organizations would embrace, and make a real effort to encourage in their devotees, is that reconciling scientific knowledge with religious concepts doesn't devalue the moral and practical applications of religion; and if we are genuinely interested in religion being a tool of betterment for the world, we should embrace anything which makes it stronger and more resonant with people who were born in the 20th/21st century. The Iron Age was a long time ago, we should stop trying to live in that mindset. Let religion be a strong force for moral leadership in the world-- TODAY'S world, the world WE live in.
