Do you think that one day religion will become a thing of the past

RE: Do you think that one day religion will become a thing of the past
I think it's evident that religion is fading away. Slowly, very slowly, but fading nonetheless. In America at least, the number of people identifying as "nonreligious" rises every year. Many kids are being raised in households that teach increasingly loose religious values, or otherwise completely secular and God is just a non-subject. And those religious teachings will fade a little more with each successive generation, until one day humans of the future will look back on the past and think "huh, we believed that?" The mocking of religion also gets less taboo every passing year, allowing more people to see the sense behind not believing it. More developed countries are taking a secular stance in their government and societies. I guesstimate that within a couple centuries, religion as a whole will be quite endangered, and a couple centuries after that it'll be virtually extinct.

I think the greatest threat to the death of religion is underdeveloped countries and places like the Middls East. It'll take longest to shift from theism to atheism/agnosticism in areas such as those.

But like I said, I believe it's inevitable that religion will be dead. The only question is how long.
