Is the “wisdom” of old religious people overrated?
I think in previous times, old religious people had respectful positions in their communities. These people had the life experience that young people did not have and a lifetime of memories and anecdotes used to educate and improve the knowledge of younger generations. However, in today’s world with modern information technology and instant communication with billions of people all over the globe, the role of old religious people has declined into virtual insignificance, hasn’t it? Old religious people are shipped off to nursing homes where they stagger around in synthetic comfort until they die. The “wisdom” of old religious people appears as irrational hate and intolerance delivered in a whiney apologetic manner, right?

No.
Was your rant a hate speech against senior citizens? I am 70 and not doddering around in a nursing home. I have a job in an office and stay busy all the time. Your prejudice is showing.
Younger people don't realize the wisdom that someone has once they lived their life. They won't realize until the day they become that old person.

Just as it was foretold in the Bible during the end of time before Jesus comes back people will ridicule older knowledgeable believers in God.
You would not think the same if you dare read the book titled "The Evolution of God.
No, but the Religion News Study Post mentioned in one of its articles that "...the unintelligence among Atheists are "highly" underrated."
Elders, in general, are wise. Religous or not.
