That is a very good question. Personally, yes i think at some point (maybe a long way of yet) current religions will die out (or at the least become very small minorities) in the same way that Pagan religions have largely dissapeared from the world. I also believe as we expand our knowledge on the reality of life - it will leave less and less room for the fantasy of religion.

As bad as it is, I think humanity needs religion of some sort. Most people are too weak to accept existance without it.
However, the old religions are no longer valid and need to change. They are outdated and do not fit the modern age.
For that reason, I think that new religions are going to show themselves. Religions that bring us back into contact with the things we need to respect (like the earth), acknowledge and promote understanding and acceptance of others, and that very much support education and knowledge.
Its time to let go of the uneducated past and welcome a new way.
Times are changeing and its a truly amazing time to live in. You can see things changeing slowly but surely. Its happened in the past and it will happen again. Its like every once in a while, humanity goes through this massive change in the way we think. This is the time for a new change.
But humanity has never been very good at accepting change. So some people are resisting with everything they can muster. To the point of violence if they feel the need to get their point across and that no one will listen.
But its time. And its needed. Its time to say goodbye to the old and hello to the new.

It will probably die out as civilization gets more advanced. The problem is that everything is cyclic and when the next Dark Age hits, religion and boogeymen will be back. Lots of religion in industrialised countries weakened during the advent of the Industrial Age. With electricity, you can keep a home awashed in light all night long and that eased the people's fears of demons or monsters hiding in the dark.

Religion needs to continue to evolve as mans knowledge of God evolves. If the past is the best predictor of the future ,then religion will continue.

I think it will eventually die out, unless we are hit with a major disaster, like a meteor strike or a loss of atmosphere.
If we can maintain education and science, eventually more and more humans will come to the conclusion that Religion is bad for progress and dangerous to the human race and will adopt a more human approach to life.

It's been around as long as human history so I don't think it's going to die out, but it will keep changing and evolving.

God said, heaven and earth may pass away but His Word would not. Christianity will be here for eternity and that is the religion of the followers of Christ. How many times did Jesus say - follow Me?

religion will most probably evolve along with the human species. Problems might be solved with the dissapearance of it, but I'm guessing that it will probably evolve with us up to a point. who knows what will happen after that.

something of the human race's life . as long as there is the 'danger' of a god(s) or an afterlife or another comparable theory, there'll continuously be somebody who choose for's to have self belief in them. because of the character of such 'ideals', they are in a position to't be (somewhat) shown or disproven and due to that, there'll continuously be 'arguments' for the two facets. From a logical element-of-view, neither element could be taken and be seen 'actual' or 'incorrect'. in basic terms saying.
