Once upon a time, most humans believed in different gods and goddesses, just as we (meaning, most humans) today believe in one God (whether they are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.). Do you think that maybe these religions will become "Mythology" hundreds, maybe thousands of years from now?

This is a very interesting question. If you answer to the negative, then you are a believer of the Christian religion. As in a Thousand Years we will not be here, as the Second Coming would have come and then Christianity would be proven as a truthful religion as Jesus Christ will riegn on earth.
But if in the next 1000 or so years... if the second coming doesn't happen then, by all means Christianity will fade into the mythology in some future date.... By then humans may then realize that the true religion is with in the human soul not an ALL Knowing GOD.

I think that, no matter what, religion is an innate part of humanity. For many people, there are human desires and needs that cannot be fulfilled by science or atheism alone. So, I don't believe religion in general will die and become universally accepted as mythology. It certainly will evolve though, so I'm not sure whether Christianity specifically will stay as a dominant religion.

No I don't believe it will with Christianity, because when most humans believed in Gods and Goddesses they were never equals or the same. When people started hearing of Christianity they became excited because they heard about this God who would give them eternal salvation and they would live with him in his kingdom. People started liking this because they knew that they could never live in the same domain as their old Gods and goddesses. On the other hand though with how the world is today with people acting more independently they will start to question their God's authority. So who knows what will happen?

hmm..how many millenniums do you suppose it takes to have a myth? Christianity has already been here 2000 years so at what point do you suppose it becomes a myth? the truth is the truth just because you cannot accept it does not make it a myth it was true two thousand years before you and will remain truth two thousand years after you...ever consider that the world does not revolve around you...makes ya think doesn't it?

there'll consistently be faith, in spite of if the religion is Dialectical Materialism. Judaism has lasted noticeably a lot by all historic previous to this point; I anticipate that is strong for yet another 10,000 years besides. Christianity and Islam arose out of Judaism; as a Christian i imagine Christianity will also very last; and realistically, i imagine Islam will too. the adaptation between those monotheistic religions and the polytheistic religions is that God is One. real, you and that i'd have diverse ideas with regards to God's attributes, yet there continues to be one God. In polytheism, whenever you adventure a diverse element of divinity, it desires its own god. Gods truly come and flow from the pantheon, or they replace features. no longer each and every faith truly has a god or gods. organic Buddhism would not. nicely, adequate rambling.

No. I don't. Christianity has survived for the last 2,000 years and will continue to survive and thrive. If it can survive in countries where people are put to death for believing in Christ, for holding services in house churches, for spreading the Word of God, then it will still be around forever. Christians the world over will greet Christ's triumphant return with shouts of joy and adoration. Jews are God's chosen people. Already many of them are turning to Christ. Something that must happen before Christ's return. I can't speak for the Muslim religion.

Christ will be proclaimed, when the archeologists on the North American are digging up our old highways, and scratching their heads wondering if we worshiped the clover leaf.
There are people today who worship a book, a cross, a mother, and many many relics. That is a living mythology.
Christ is a spirit, that went into the body of Rome. He wears our civilization like a loose shirt. He is not the myth, he is the author.

If your definition of a Myth is a fantastic story that attempts to explain something, then woulden't all religions include some myths, weather they are practiced now, or in the past.

no because even when people believed in gods and goddesses, there where those who believed in God, and Christianity has been around since the beginning.

When wasn't Christianity mythology? It owes more of its heritage to the Roman pantheon than to any other religion.
