The recent generation are not more religious and they depend more on science and their hard work. Younger generation are going behind Agnoticism which seems to be acceptable to them.

The younger generation is alive, mature, reasonable, brave, factual and are not willing to pass on meaningless beliefs on the next generation.
I think they are heading in the right direction, the previous generation held on to non workable ideas and beliefs and made their lives miserable for themselves, growing in homes where everyone makes a decisions they have witnessed how life turns out making everyone happy except themselves. I think the present generation is down to earth, clear about what they want out of their lives, and dont want people, ideas, beliefs, and all the fairy tales that go with religion to rule their lives, time for fairy tales is over, and its not bad, if this continue i think the world will be a better place to live, and enjoy, and perhaps religious wars can come to an end.
Belive me this is good, what the adults could not teach they younger generation is teaching them. Hats off to the younger folks, they believe in them selves.

I'm agnostic but highly doubt religion would dissolve by this decade or soon. Religion answers the questions that science can't. Science is lost when explaining consciousness and other phenomenas, placebo effect for example. Science tries to prove life through observable events. Observing the creation of the universe and life is quite a hard problem. Scientifically explaining life after death is improbable if not impossible.
Even though our culture and science are beginning to overlap with religion, both cannot explain those huge question people ask: how did we get here, what is our purpose, what happens next. And that, my friend, is why religion will stick for quite some time.

Well, I do think that Unity and a search for similarities (so we can all coexist without destroying ourselves) is certainly on the horizon - and I think that religions that preach a "my way or the highway" attitude will die off or modify. Will religion dissolve? Christianity has lumbered its way through time and culture by shifting and evolving - there is no reason to think it will not continue to do just that. Other religions that are more inclusive will become stronger in a "live and let live" attitude, allowing for more a "Freedom of religion" environment before too long, if I don't miss my guess.
The younger generation seems to me, to be embracing a philosphy of God as energy, rather than the personification older generations are more comfortable with. That does not mean that they are not spiritual, in tune or religious - it just means that that area of our culture will evolve once again.
Peace!

The fact that there is a section called "Religion & spirituality" on yahoo answers just negates your question.
No, Religion is a strong concept that will NOT dissolve in this or the coming decades.
We cannot speak about the younger generation as a whole. There are theists, and there are atheists.

Religion is not Dogmas and Doctrines. Religion is God Realization.
Dogmas and Doctrines can never be dissolved because there are Fanatics in this world who just cannot stop raving about their own religions and provoke people of other religions.
Religion word is not correctly defined these days.
Religion evolution can be thought as a cycle, when we think it is dissolving it comes up again. But this idiotic Fanaticism never ends.

I think religion in some form will be around for a very long time. It may go away for awhile but it may eventually resurface. Religion seems almost ingrained in the collective human psyche. The religions of today, if they do survive in the future, may have developed to a form or type that may be almost unrecognizable today, or at least when they were first founded or practiced.

No, religion will not dissolve or even fade away no matter what religion you may be refering to. The fact is that while this younger generation currently rejects God approx. 70% will return to the faith of their youth.

Religions will always remain, one type or the other. It is the refuge of the pretenders. Since the world is of the, by the, and for the hypocrites, this 'evil of religions' will always remain.
What we need to follow is the spiritualism. This is not connected to any religion. This is about taking care of the 'self' which is Soul. Religions are about taking care of your physical needs which in any case are perishable.
So religions will remain till hypocrisies will remain!

If you believe that in 3 years all religions will end why are there 5105 questions in the religion and sprituality section. As long as there are men and women there will be one form of religion or another.

No, I don't. Religion is a very valuable thing to a great many people. It gives them a sense of community, purpose and comfort. I don't advocate the abolition of religion at all, but it would be improper for me to participate in it.
