Obviously religious thought can be traced back to the time the brain of the homosapien was becoming capable enough for logical thought. Do you think as we advance our medical capabilities(I won't say scientific capabilities because it has already been established in the scientific world, and religion does not need logical thought to exist), the need for religion will start ot fade. When eventually we advance nano medicine to the point where living indefinately until an accident occurs becomes possible, do you think that will be the end of religion?

Yes, of one sort or another. Considering that religion is really just a way of explaining the world around us, and considering that some branches of science require just as much faith as some religions, we can assume that (in one form or another) we will always have religion.

Religious thought can not be traced back to the time of the brain of homosapien because history does not go back that far. There are parts of history that go so far back that all traces of evidence are either very scarce or gone completely or well hidden. We never needed religion. The human powers that be forced it as a necessity long ago. It will be a long time before we are no longer dependant on it but it will happen. People are already letting go.

I see religions as different "languages" for the law. I believe each serves a unique purpose for defining, studying and teaching certain areas of spirituality or human relationships, and that is why so many different branches exist. God's knowledge is so vast, it takes not only religion, but broad fields in science and other secular systems to study and document all that humanity needs to understand about our nature and our world. If there was only one "language" for the knowledge of the universe and humanity, it would be like a tree with only a trunk. Instead, by branching out into denominations, like limbs of a tree, all of humanity's experiences and understanding can be organized and housed more comfortably. The tree can hold more that way. That is why I believe there are different religions, cultures, and political economic and social systems. We need to use all systems for the best advantages and purposes they serve, in order to communicate to establish common truths, and to be able work with diverse groups for the common good.

Then doesnt the medical and scientific world replace the religious. Of which they have made themselves to be gods.?
Man will always progress both materially and spiritually, but the two do not really oust the other. Man knows that there is a great plan for mankind, and that Plan is Divine and will always be a spark that will kindle inside of us for eternity.

Yes. Religion is part of the being of man. It is intertwined with the idea of faith and belief of a life or existence after death. Man for centuries have this conviction that this worldly life is but a stepping stone to a life much more than the former. This conviction is shared by all types of religion whether Christian or not.

I think religion is really tribal. Humans need to belong to a bigger group. They often need to be part of a tribe and find this in religious groups who offer security (peace of mind) for free basically. If religion goes, something else will have to replace it.

Religion is dwindling and I think that in the future there will be no religion. It was something ancient people needed to make them feel worthwhile and explain things they didn't understand. Now we understand most things more and more people are atheists than in years gone by. The end of religion will come, and I welcome the day it does.

I hope people won't always need religions. Actually, the fact that there have always been people who didn't need a religion implies that religions aren't actually a basic biological need, but a social imposition. I dream of the day when masks fall down...

People have to believe in something and religion is the most brainwashing thing there is. Religion will never end only get worse.
