Does "it" refer back to "the entire project of religion"? I have difficulty in understanding the last line of the quotation below. Can you explain it with more words?
==================
Whatever is true now should be discoverable now, and describable in terms that are not an outright affront to the rest of what we knew about the world. By this measure, the entire project of religion seems perfectly backward. It cannot survive the changes that have come over us-culturally, technologically, and even ethically. Otherwise, there are few reasons to believe that we will survive it.
