Do you think that one day religion will become a thing of the past

[Sappho]

It would be kinda sad. Everybody thinking the same about a subject.
The human race will always produce people who don't think the same way, so neither atheism nor religion will ever completly die out I guess.

Religion is already entirely concerned with the distant past.

I highly doubt religion will ever be a thing of the past. I'd actually argue that it definitely won't be.

There will always be people who believe in a supernatural supreme being. It seems to be pretty intrinsic to human nature to believe in something like that.

I think Christianity, Islam, and Judaism will eventually start to die out. It wont' be during our lifetimes. But eventually more evidence will be discovered that these religions are nothing more than myths. And when they start to die, new religions will try to raise, but I think it'll be much harder for them. I think once it's commonly accepted that the major religions are nothing more than lies told to kids to get them to behave (much like Santa Clause), people will raise their level of skepticism toward any new claims. A few will still feel comforted by lies and half-truths. But most people will start to question their concept of personal revelation. I think we saw that in a thread I posted earlier this year about "What if you discovered Jesus never existed" Few if any said they'd outright convert to another religion.

Religious ideas came to exist only because humans became aware of their ignorance on so many things, and wanted answers to their questions.

It persisted because humans had evolved to survive in groups through group rallying, prior to their development of independent and critical thought.

Now one of our best survival traits has shifted out of balance, to the point that it is destroying us all. Fortunately, the Millennials are a good start at fixing that.

Seems like religion is only used to control people, like large amounts of people. Now it seems like religious institutions are barley hanging onto that last little bit of power and influence they have. Basically, do you think that there will be a time when things like Christianity and Islam will be looked at like how we view Greek Gods now? Just kind of a way to explain things, but aren't scientifically true. 

Also....what do you think the world would be like if religion has never existed?

No I don't think it will completely go away. I do think as long as technology allows media to scrutinize religion it will shrink and have a harder time spreading.

[dyresand]

religion won't go away completely but in the first world religion will surely die off then in the
third world religion will die off slowly but surely. Eventually religion will be become a uncommon
or well just the minority.

Religions will never die out because they serve the purposes of governments. They indoctrinate people to believe and obey without exception. If people ever got away from that and actually made up their own minds there would be anarchy. No one would go off to fight in wars because people would realize that they won't personally benefit by getting killed and wounded because some dummy told them to go over the hill and kill the people in the next town. Besides, religions encourage bigotry by convincing dummies that they are better than the idiots who are not in their cult (either religious, political, racial, or geographical). That directly benefits the wealthy and political class.
