Another people will replace them and carry the message and love God in the way he intended. This is one of the themes in Quran. It happened the past when people failed to uphold the covenant of God revelation and navigators he appointed, and it will happen again.

I hoping Canada would be it.  I see a lot of goodness here and I believe it can be it. But I do hope the Shiites and Sunnis return to Quran and it's explanation through the family of the reminder and I hope the Muslims take the religion as it meant to be and stop ignoring the repeated warnings and most emphasized warnings in Quran.

But if not, I hope this would be it. I see a lot of good here and people like to reflect here which is key.

Everybody seems to think that they're god's master race.  Isn't that amazing?  You know, I'd be surprised to find a group of believing people who, when asked who gods chosen were...said:

"Those guys, over there."
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No one knows. I am just hoping. A lot of good here, something about them reflecting a lot more than others I find, good morals, good etiquette, sincere, loving people. I am just hoping.

Except almost every religion acknowledges people of other faiths who are searching for the truth and do good, to be on par with them, and that God rewards all doers of good.

There is no master race.

Tell that to allah and his princes. Meanwhile, I;m fairly certain that canadians would be surprised to hear that they were the next in line to be tapped on the shoulder by djinn.

They probably fall under "Not Religious but Spiritual" which is I guess being an atheist but it's not like most atheists and they probably wouldn't want to go around saying they are atheists because they do still believe in something, though not a deity.
Astrology is a bit different I think though, because it's more for fun. Unless you actually believe that stuff...
