Religion to Disappear by 2041... Thoughts?

Nope, not with State backed religions such as Islam.

Also, most Middle Eastern Countries are poorly educated.

As long as humanity needs a security blanket for comfort, there will be religion. And I think humanity will need/want it's blanky until the day we as a species perish. 2041 is way too optimistic.

Seeing as how it is 2013 and you have teenagers who are very religious, that does not make sense biologically speaking.

Nope, I keep a close eye on Malaysia politics because that's where I grew up. I can promise you that that country will still be a muslim country in 30 years time, and it's a moderate muslim country, I imagine other muslim countries wouldn't have changed much either.

Didn`t people in the 1950s say that we would be living in underwater cities?

Given sea level rise due to global warming we may well see that happen.

It's a really nice thought, but totally unrealistic.

His main thesis stems from the phenomenon of religion declining as personal wealth increases.

First, I do not see any poor or middle class citizens becoming richer.

Secondly, the rich republitards are rather religious.

They are probably no more religious than any other elite. They simply understand that they need to pretend to keep the dolts in line.

I don't think this is correct. Obviously many of the oil rich arab countries are yet still very religious.
Wealth and religion? Really, since the writer isn't a sociologist I don't know why I should really pay attention to his ramblings about how atheism will triumph over religion and bless us with some futuristic paradise.

It is not overly optimistic at all. I would theorize that it will happen sooner.

christianity, islam and hinduism all have a "3 in 1" ideology with one as supreme (tyranny), they are the 3 biggest religions and they will amalgamate soon and cause a war which will discredit religion and make it illegal under UN authority.

Now that, is overly optimistic!

It sounds like.... fusion power.... always 50 years away!

But this time, we're on the right track! (or so scientists tell the politicians)
