As the use of outdoor lighting increases, less people can see the details of the night sky. Ancient humans first looked to the night sky with wonder & worshiped varieties of sky gods. In fact, many modern religions still look "up" to God and expect to "rise" to Heaven. Could the increase of outdoor lighting and the dimming of the night sky have any effect on humanity’s perception of God & religion? Are we looking more toward the earth & ourselves as the night sky fades from sight, and therefore ignoring what inspired ancient humans’ search for God?
