Do you think that it will be stronger or almost nonexistant? Based on how it's been growing or shrinking as history has shown what are your assumptions. My personal opinion is that it will probably shrink but some people will never leave their supersticious comfort zone.

I HOPE it'll be dead and gone. but realistically there will always be people who need their spiritual security blanket.

Oh man, that's a tough question. Just based on what has happened in the world in the last 100 years, I can't even begin to imagine what it'll be like in 500. Considering that 500 years ago people still believed that the world was flat, and Galileo was imprisoned by the church for proposing otherwise, and now we have people living in space who can see that the world is round just by looking out the window, I would have to postulate that in 500 years, most religions will be defunct. But who knows? Religions have an uncanny ability to bend and morph themselves (albeit reluctantly) to reconcile themselves with the scientific advancements of the day. Or, maybe in 500 years we will finally have discovered the -true- nature of god. Either way, religion as we know it is on its way out.

Personnally, right now, I doubt that man will last that long. If a year is as a day, and God created the world in 7 days then;
7000 - 1000 (Rev. 20:2)=6000
then
6000-5767(present Jewish year)=233 years.

it is shrinking now, less people are going to church and the ones that still go are older. So I think it will die a natural death before the 500 years is up.

I think it will be almost nonexistent. As our knowledge improves, religion won't be necessary to answer as many questions. It will only remain in the areas of knowledge that remain undiscovered.

Religion will probably be 500 years older.

Religion will be seen as Mythology and will not play any role in the world except in maybe some plays or movies.

eaerth and heaven as you know it..today..will not be here..beyond 100 years.
because the signs of time..end time..began 1948 and again 1967 and that/this generation shall see the end of the age..so that is either 70 or 100 years. i only spoke about..WHEN..not the day or hour.

In 500 years' time, all will be said and done. The world will be under Jesus' millennial rule by that time.
