When you consider the global history of every religion in our species history, what you see over thousands of years, is either discarding or morphing. If any Hindu or Buddhist or Jew or Christian or Muslim thinks their religion will be around 20,000 years from now, or even if it is, will be viewed the same, are nuts.
Now, that is if we don't kill ourselves off through climate change and or a nuclear war.
