Absolutely. Fundamentalists will never go away, it is part of human nature to be different.

Yes. Human evolution has geared the brain into being susceptible to religion. Its the same gut instinct that makes us believe in lucky charms and astrology, even though they're patently BS. It's a survival mechanism that makes us look for patterns in our actions and what happens real world, and it knocks up a lot of false positives, so people see false patterns in the influence of "God" or "Their lucky gambling shirt".
Religion is an informational virus, much like an internet meme.

Even more profoundly that nowadays. Just to give you a clue: the current more salient fracture in humanity is of a religious nature: fundamentalist Bush-styled evangelicalism in the US v. fundamentalist islamism. And they both want the rest of the world to take sides.
Too bad, the worst in religion is what will survive.

I believe many will; I hate to say this but I don't believe we'll be alive in 1,000 years, or at least not alive in this world. (end of the world people)

Well, by then the imminent impact of the asteroid of 2027 will completely redefine everything. All it takes is 1 person to make religion again as it was established as a form of control. You can tell, as the bible in comparison to what christians believe s completely contridictary as:
If God made us all and loves each and every one of us, then why do the christians penalise homosexuals, Jews and other miniorities. Think about it!

I suspect they will look with wonder and ask "how could anyone believe that?" Just as many do today when looking at the ancient beliefs and some not so ancient, of many people around the world.

Yes, but not the way they do now. People will realize what b/s some stuff is. If Adam and Eve were the only two people on earth, how did their son find a wife?? People will still believe and god, and similar spiritual things.

yes
it's part of being human for some humans. no matter how much various fields of knowledge grow, someone with a vivid imagination is always going to WANT to believe in such things. they are using email and websites NOW to spread such nonsense, so knowledge and technology won't change anything -- whatever else comes along, they will appropriate that as well for their propaganda campaigns. if we have a starship in 1000 years, they will be right behind the scientists in their own starship to evangelize barren asteroids
i can't see any major improvements in reasoning in ANOTHER millenia -- consider how many millenia it took for us to evolve to upright walking for instance

Not a chance. It isn't only the biological part of us that evolves, our intelligence does too, so long before we reach the turn of another millennium, humanity will have finally graduated from the realm of myth and fantasy.

Yes, because people always put their faith on something no matter what. We humans often spend our lives searching for the reason of our existence and religion often answers that in many different ways no matter what religion it is.
