Atheism is on the move it seems, but I don't expect religion to go anywhere.
Christianity is out of date for us atheists, no matter how forward or postmodern they try to be, but whether they'll truly go away in future is another matter...and if they don't, and if religion always stays in the majority, then for the majority of people it's not out of date. Simply because the majority will still be religious!
Religion at least should be a thing of the past....
And when it isn't as old fashioned, it's just committed more of the NTS fallacy and cherry-picking more. And all this cherry-picking and hiding behind metaphors, etc, may indeed mean Christianity is still morphing more - that is, if it has to any further, if the 'moderates' haven't got enough cover as it is.
The only thing is that it will always have to include "Christ" and probably at least some of the other fundamentals...otherwise by definition it just won't be Christianity anymore!
