As long as there are human beings, or a species capable of thinking so abstractly and creatively, religion will never leave this planet. If I had to guess, in about 100-200 years, I’d say religion will still populate 30% of the world. I think, there still will be many areas of the world that won’t be modernized, and with how much this species breeds, I’d say it could easily be 30% of the world. By that time, in modernized cities, I’d say that the religious population will max out around 10%.
I predict that earth’s population will be about 50% atheist.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
