if religion becomes secular, it won't be religion anymore.

They have been doing that for years.
Look at "praise worship", "contemporary worship", church debates over issues like "men sleeping with men", "women in positions of authority over men".
This is very flawed reasoning. To make churches more appealing, they are embracing pop culture. Never mind honestly assesing whether their teachings are in agreement with their proscribed Holy Books. The net result? Pop churches are draining memberships of traditional churches. And because pop churches are so much fluff (focus on emotional and ignoring the spritual food of dispensing knowledge to have a God approves and thus happy life), they suffer from incredible turnover menberships.
Eventually they too will have dificulty filling there meeting places.
In a nut shell, it will result in millions becoming even more disillusioned with religion and thus fulfilling the prophecy about the "love of the greater number " cooling off.
Wonderful huh?

Seeing as how the only reason it no longer exists today is that the early Christian leaders after the Edict of Theodosius systematically hunted down and slaughtered the pagans by technique of the tens of thousands. therefore, i locate it not basic to believe that paganism ought to ever have survived in Christian Europe, because it became quite non violent and under no circumstances missionary in nature, even as medieval Christianity became horribly violent and intolerant, and may maximum in all probability have wiped out the pagans at some time or different.

No. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He never changes. He does not come out with a revise of His word every ten years. Those that think like that are some of the false teachers in the world today.
Yes it would be, so bad. It would be blasphemy.

Religion do not need chages. People who are following religion need serious religious education so they can become a person what their religion wants them to be. Blind followers are the problem not the religion.

If religion becomes any more rigid than it is, it will have to be forcefully put down to protect the rest of humanity from fanaticism. They must adjust to a more tolerant, not in your face, mode or be destroyed.

Personally i think that all religions that have caused problems need to be DESTROYED. forget freedom of religion they hide behind that to attempt a christian run theocracy, if people want to do that kind of BS they might as well have their religion taken from them. the same goes for any muslim that whould try the same thing.

Actually we may soon all need to become Christians in order not to be burned at the stake.
