Yes, I believe so. I don't think it will occur in our generation's lifetime, or maybe not for another 1000 years (assuming that humans are around that long). Religions seem to come and go. Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and other Gods all were around for a thousand or more years, but now we look at them as if they were just fairy tales. There will be a day when the majority of people on earth will see Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc, as just as odd. Either there will be new religions, or increasingly more people will become atheist, agnostic, or apathetic with the increase of scientific knowledge.

I don't think so. I think the three major western religions all had similar beginnings. Judaism and Islam both believed in the same God, but each believed that a certain son was the true heir. Then Christianity spun off of Judaism. If a new religion spun off from one of those now, I think it would just be considered a different sect of that religion.

Sure why not?
Something radical has to happen....
CATASTROPHE?
(Earth is ROund and not FLAT?)
(Sun revolves around the EARTH?)
Einstein... was genious.... why? how?
How do you think outside the box? And then prove it to the rest of us
ignorant humans? Moses walked on water?!
we all once thought the world was flat!!
Jesus died and came back! (good thing we have TV today.)
What made us think the EARTH was flat? What proof did we have back then?
What would happen to religion if there was great Discovery... of alien fossils?
Current "reasons" for life... have to be questioned due to some Catastrophic event...
... and a new refined question must evolve from that event....
whereby a "new and refined religion" will attempt to answer/explain that event.

no, this is not likely.
Religion is highly mature and saturated market characterised by high rivalry among existing players and significant network effects (larger churches attract more people).
So a successful entry by a new player is extremely unlikely, although many people keep trying.

Actually , the faith that Jesus taught is nothing like any of those and it was monotheistic.
