I wouldn't be concerned with his friends belief in god so much as the nascent prosperity gospel explanation of charitable donations, your no5. It's not a true belief, but it's a fit belief. It mainly preys on desperate people who would very much like to believe in miracles, and miracles for them, and miracles in the form of money for them.....but that's not actually the direction that this particular miracle of money flows.Yes, you are right, since many religions have been forgotten along with their gods.
But in the case of judaism, christianity, islam, mormonism, hinduism, budhism, and possibly others, now that they have survived and reached the age of the printing press and computer age, it would be hard to destroy these religions totally.
There will always be a printed copy, or a floppy disk file copy, or some other medium somewhere.
Even if the number of believers reaches 0, one of these religions might rise up again.
The chances probably vary. Mormonism probably would have the least chance since it is too new and too obviously fake.
