I feel that religion has had a resergence and that people are going back to God. I went to church when I was growing up, My grandmother died when I was 15. and we didn't go any more. When I was first married, I didn't know anyone who went. But now I"m in my 50's and I and my husband go and lots of people we know go also.

Q. -- "Heard on tv, don't remember what show, they said by the year 2042 there will be no more Christians. Do you?"
A. -- As a Christian, I believe that it will continue to be one of the strongest and most relevant world religions up until the moment of the Rapture. After 2,000 years, it still has over 2 billion adherents.
But we can only hope that the hateful and ignorant PSEUDO-Christians of the RRR Cult ("Religious" Radical Right) -- currently a mere (but noisy and noisome) 6% of the USA's *professing* Christians (and almost nonexistent outside of there) -- will have become nothing more than a footnote in dusty history books (and thus extinct) many decades SOONER than 2042.

To paraphrase an old saying. The devil counts heads, God weighs hearts.
Having said that it should be noted that there will be a big shift in religious numbers by 2042 or 2043. The reason is found in the fact that there will be an additional 2.5 billion humans added to the population by 2043.
Moving from 6.7 billion to about 9.1 billion in 43 years is unprecedented in human history. The numbers alone could change anything you want name including health, education, diet, economics, and politics; not to mention belief systems.

Uhhh... doubtful. But there will be significantly fewer. If the ancient Egyptian religion is still worshipped by some people in the world (and it IS), then likely some people somewhere will be Christian.
They will just fall from power, just like all the other powerful people in history. Nothing is forever.

How can a religion as old as Christianity vanish in the next 30 years ?!

It's hard for me to believe that a religion that came together almost 2000 years ago will go the way of the dodo within the next 35 years.

I think that it is wishful thinking--about no more christians. Over the centuries it has been attempted--christians went underground. I was raised attending church. My husband & I regularly attend. There have been times that we were lax but always started back.

There will be Christians for all eternity, from now right on through the Tribulation period, and the Millenial reign of Christ on earth. (Maybe the people you saw on t.v. were not Christians and what they said amounted to no more than wishful thinking.)

That's just a bunch of crockery. Christ is our everlasting Lord, and of His kingdom there will be NO END. They must have meant the world will end before 2042, which is more crockery, since no one knows when the end is coming, save only the Father.

I would think that there will be a few Christians during that time. Who knows. If the earth is still around during that time I really hope not! But I will be 80 and hopefully dead! The world is gonna end in 2012 anyways...They Mayans said so!
