Answer 1

Religion does not bother me. the Nazis were more in to the mystic and occult and believed they were the perfect master race, which we all know was wrong. the Communist in china and Russia killed more of their own people than the second war did, and they were atheist's The great Roman Empire that conquered most of the world and killed millions were pagans. I don't think religion will die out, but it must stop being so Extreme! and Realize that the world is a small place, and don't they all pretty much believe in the same god? .and stop the blood flowing on all sides and preach for tolerance. what were seeing now, is the same thing they saw a thousand years ago with the crusades. the world as a whole must condemn the extremism and Hate. and that takes leadership.from everybody, everywhere.and get away from that terrible mindset of if we just kill some more!

Answer 2

You proceed from a false assumption. Christianity was never forced on anyone. It was shared, and people chose, but it certainly wasn't forced. Those natives who superficially followed it to get something out of the European settlers continued in their pagan ways while away from the settlers.

A recent example of this is Japan. When the U.S. defeated Japan, their new government believed that the God of the U.S. was stronger than the ones they worshiped. They asked General MacArthur for missionaries so the Japanese could learn of this God. Yet today, Christianity is still a minority religion.

Others, like the Algonquin tribe (the same as Pocahontas') became Christian, and to this day, the few who remain, still practice Christianity.

It is unlikely I will convince you of this argument, since the textbooks today are filled with politically correct nonsense, and generally bashes America's greatness, looking instead to say what mean people we are.

Speaking to the question as to which "religion" will phase out Christianity (I assume you mean in America), secular humanism will likely dominate.

Barna did a survey of "born again" teenagers. And 2/3 of them reject the existence of Satan, 3/5 reject the existence of the Holy Spirit, and half believe that Jesus sinned during His lifetime. Only 1/3 attend church after they leave home. And only 44% of them claim to be "committed" to their Christian walk. With numbers this dismal, there's not a lot to rejoice about.

Islam is growing very powerfully in Europe, and that has potential in America too ... many attractive aspects, especially to people who have felt somewhat oppressed.

Baha'i Faith has great potential too, and would be of interest to Muslims if they knew the truth of it on all points. I think a "new" religion could sweep the world if it truly connects to a global perspective. Oomoto is presently little-known ooutside of Japan, but does have perhaps the greatest potential to "catch on" ... or maybe some spiritual movement as yet unknown. It is guaranteed that all religions change over time and can lose vitality and appeal too, if they do not fulfill people's needs.

Look for a movement that embraces scientific challenge and a wider perspective, yet is not theologically confused and self-contradicting ... something that gives people a path to truly connect to each other, human destiny, and the cosmos, something that finds the Divine in artistic expression ....

Answer 4

I think religion as a whole in the western world is starting to die out, as things like String Theory and Evolution gain more acceptance from the scientific community and gain more hard evidence. There is less need for religion these days, as most things can be explained through science and observations.
This makes me happy because for too long in the USA have churches and religious fundamentalists been holding science back, halting our progress.

Answer 5

I dunno what will be next. There are many religions out there all fighting for that spot. And it will happen to Christianity. But I don't see that happening for some time yet. It's still a major player in our politics and there would have to be a major change in that for Christianity to start to fade out of our secular society.

Answer 6

If the US follows the trend of the rest of the western world, secularism will push all religions aside.

Answer 7

I think that religion as a whole will eventually die out, almost if not entirely

Answer 8

If religion dies out so will civilization, because without hope people commit suicide.

Answer 9

If we don't halt terrorism, then when we are defeated, we could all be forced to be muslim.
