According to statistics and speculation, Wicca and other Neopagan religions will rank as the third biggest religion in America in the next decade (I've read 2012-2015). Currently, it's tying with Islam as the fastest growing religion in America (215% increase per year).
Whether that'll happen or not, I can't say.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll really get to the point that we'll have a Wiccan temple/grove per town, or a pagan one in each major city, but that has more to do with the structure within the community and not charging for "sermons" or taking tithes than because it'll "never get excepted".

New religions will keep on getting formed until there is injustice in society. Avatars of God appear to correct wrongs and will keep appearing precisely because of the reasons given in the question ie corruption, selfishness and deception. The conditions exist because a prophet is needed as a "voltage stabilizer" to stabilize the balance of right and wrong in a forgotten part of the world or one that has lost its bearings. Opportunities will keep springing up as good is also spreading in other parts of the world and to restore the balance a prophet appears. There may be a beautiful judgement day but definately no doomsday. The world is improving day-by-day and we are here to welcome a glorious future.

I disagree. I think we are living in an important time right now - the end of an Age, the begininng of another. The Age of Pisces, also thought of as the Age of Christianity, is over and a new wind is blowing and reshaping the world for the Age of Aquarius. Already we can see dramatic changes involving the internet. Certainly world politics is bringing the ideas of peace and unity and tolerance to the fore once again.
I feel a new world religion on the horizon - one that really recognizes us all as part of the same magic - and while that magic is expressed and celebrated in many many ways, we are all humans on similar journeys. I can see a religion that embraces and celebrates all our similarities as well as our differences and ushers in a new sense of peace and prosperity for the entire race.
Peace!

There is nothing like major or minor about religion. And there is wrong belief and understanding about its meaning too.
Religion is for realising God (for experience of God) and that's why it is solely individual. An individual way of conduct and effort within oneself taken in a right direction leads to the God. But the very first step laid wrongly and without understanding not only leads to failure but far away from the real. Like our soul is unseen, indescribable but realisable within, God is also a fact.
Any name or label given to a group working for human welfare or any charity is just like we keep our name solely for outer recognition. Such group may or may not consist of true religious people. Guru, is also an individual feeling of obligation within, after realising God by some ones free guidance without expecting any obligation. Being in a same world we all are colleagues sharing our knowledge of experiences in bringing up human society and thus the whole world.

Not quite true. A new one will be found allright. The new religion of the Antichrist that is. When he comes around he will demand that the whole world will worship him and also take the mark. And as you can see this has not yet been fullfilled but you can be certain that it will. Whatever his name will be, just insert his name into a blank and call it _____ism. blessings.

Germanic Heathenry does have round 1000 years of theological remark and out of doorways observations as do many different eu pre-Christian beliefs, the problem is that a lot of it really is interior the variety of artwork carved onto stones or burial products, it really is a mater of understand-how the imagery. interior the first Century ad Tacitus gave us documented information of the religious and cultural practices interior the Rhineland, as late because the 10th Century Ibn Fadlan change into doing an identical with the Rus who traded interior the close to East. each little thing in between change into both carved into stone by potential of the believers or written down and ridiculed by potential of Christian scholars. As late because the 12th century/early thirteenth century scholars mutually with Saxo Grammaticus and Snorri Sturlusson were recording the folklore of Scandinavia in a wish to describe the former beliefs of their human beings. the tale of St Patrick tells of the Celtic paganism in eire even as Roman information and their adoption of community deities record Celtic Gaul and Brythonic religions. it really is a case of understanding the position to discover and a thanks to study the 1000 years of remark no longer a case of it no longer modern-day.

Wicca is only about 60 years old and gaining more and more followers exponentially every year.
I don't think its true. I just think that Christianity is on the way out.

You cannot say that. There are chances. New political parties are coming up. New religious group can come up. There are preachers claiming they are this and that, they get followers too.
