No, they haven't. Writing is older.
I got that bit wrong but the main point I was trying to make which I totally failed to make because I was typing while in a rush is some of the old religions that were around during written history are now seen as myths, but they didn't become to be seen as myths because of logical reasoning, for the most part they became seen as myths because Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and judiasm forced them out of popularity. Now we're in the age of information, we have the Internet, mass printed books, film and television and these religions aren't really slowing down that much, there's no new religions over taking them, Muslim and Christian birth rates are quite high and bibles and qurans are still probably 2 of the most popular books in the world.
On top of this try looking online for people who still worship Egyptian, Greek or Roman gods and you will find some maniacs who still do.
So that therefore is why I don't think it's as simple as saying this is what happened to those religions so I know it will happen to the rest.
On the other hand I don't doubt in the slightest a new religion could be formed and overtake the main ones we have now, maybe even atheism could prevail, but I wouldn't be to sure of anything.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
