Do you think the major religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) will exist in the year 3000?

Answer 1

Why do I care?! I will be loong dead by then! Does it really matter? Religion is just something people made up hundreds of years ago to keep others busy.

Answer 2

Of course. Example; not long ago being Republican meant that you want most things to be up to the people with minimal interferance from the government. Being Democrat meant you thought that the government should get more involved and take a more active role in the world. Neither mean that anymore. They have changed definitions completely in order to keep up with the demands of the people. Religion does the same thing. Slowly over time the definition of what it means to be a christian changes. Which is why there are umpteen different kinds of christians Some say "we should change this, or that" and someone listening disagrees. Blamo-you got two different churches. Over time certain religions die out. Others grow. 1000 years isn't long enough to change that.

Answer 3

Your question is thought-provoking! I wonder whether humanity will survive until the year 3000 with all of the dire possibilities for extinction currently facing us, but assuming that we can avoid annihilation, either self-inflicted or via external/extraterrestrial events, I would hope that those extant in a thousand years, having managed to avoid nuclear war (I am assuming) would have evolved philosophically beyond a dependency upon fractious religiosity. However, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam already have histories of thousands of years, so clearly have the charisma to attract and influence large populations of adherents/believers, and that trio of theisms also has a prolonged history of unenlightenment, including the perpetration of wars and atrocities in their names, thus one would wish that, should they prevail in the year 3000, their practitioners would have embraced tolerance, learning to co-exist in peace and harmony, however preposterous such a scenario might appear from our own tentative place in history!!

Answer 4

strangely enough, i do think that religion will exist in the year 3000. there will always be those devout religious people who will refuse reason and keep feuling these religious wars that are going on today. after all, the crusades? that supposedly ended hundreds of years ago. and yet, jeruselum is still being fought over. go figure. and the whole worshipping christ get-up has lasted for 2000 years. it'll find a way to last for longer. to end with, there will always be people who are afraid of what they don't know. they 'need' a reason for everything. god is their reason, so god will always exist for them.

Answer 5

Good question. I don't know if it can be answered. Certainly, we face issues of survival itself as mankind. Who knows if some calamity may precipitate the collapse of current organized society and some new faith, belief, or way of viewing the world may be erected out of the ashes.

Answer 6

I wonder if a devote of Zeus wondered if his religion would be around in the year 2000?

Answer 7

Hopefully, no religion will exist in the year 3000. I would hope people would be smarter by then.........

Answer 8

If you are asking do I think that religion is a fad?
No, sorry, I am a Christian and as long as there is a God in Heaven, it will last.

However, you are opening a can of worms, because most Christians don't believe we will be here that long. The second coming of Jesus is near, according to prophesies in the Bible, so we will not have to worry about that.

Praise God!

Answer 9

I certainly hope not!

Maybe I'm an optimist, but hopefully we have rid humanity of these viruses of the mind by then!

Answer 10

Unfortunately, yes. They've lasted this long, after all. What's another
thousand years to people who think that salvation is always a day away?
