When will Religions die?

[Palmerson]

Religion will die when parents cease from the very childhood to impose their religion on their children.

Why only parents? It seems to me that a large part of the responsibility for education carries the state. Religion is promoted everywhere and the government is interested in it. He and his Church shared tasks and therefore they can't live without each other.

Why didnt religion cease to exist in Soviet Union or old Roman empire? And yes, many people do in fact convert in their adulthood (among baptists it is actually mandatory), how the hell do you geniuses think it got so widespread in the first place?



State terror did not end religion and neither did science, that grew out of its shadow. You are fighting your own shadows.

Why do you think it's religion that's damaging human being? I think human make the most damages to human. Plus, we all need something to 'believe' in, so I doubt religion is going to disapear.

Exactly people created their selves a life that they wantedt to be actually religion is not bad at all times. It help make people to have faith in humanity and something to look up for

Many people replied saying religion has always been here, from the beginning of human race.
Well, that's not true. We need to make a distinction between religion and spirituality. They are two different things.

Primitives had spirituality, they asked themselves lots of question regarding life, death, animals, trees, the world, the stars, etc. They just had spirituality toughts. But there was no religion yet.

Then came religion.
Religions instead are organizated group of power which claim to have universal answer to questions humans always had (and maybe always will have). Religions ministries state they are the only ones to know who created the world, why, and other things they obviously don't know, because no human being knows. The only reasons religious leaders behave like this is to increase their power and often learn a lot of money doing it.

So, if you meditate and wonder about the beauties of the Universe, you are a spiritual person.
But if you follow priests and other religious leaders, you are just like a sheep who follows her shepherd... the only result you get doing this is to increase their power.

I don't think so.
Many people find religion and God by themselves, while searching for purpose of life.
Others received revelations or inspirations from spiritual world.
People are spiritual beings, not just physical.
So, they will always need spiritual guidance in their lives.
We are trying to find something absolute in our life, unchanging and clear, our origin and purpose.
Only God can give it to us, not society or science.
So, when will Religions die?
Only if people cease to exist.

It is not just the parents. Other relatives, family friends, and even school teachers have a big influence on the religiosity of the children. That said, I know a large number of atheist people, who were born in to ultra-religious families. The reason why they become atheists vary from person to person. But in general I can say that the more educated a person is, and the more he is exposed to the outside world, the chances of that person becoming an atheist increases.

Or discover that all the religious dogma they were born into is, well, bullshit.  There is no God, only people trying to make money
and gain power over other people.  It is all about submission and domination of other, more gullible schmucks.

I don't care which religion it is.  They are all pretty much the same in terms of the objectives.

But what if the people who freely give money to a church stopped doing that and instead used it to smoke heroin and do drugs?

There are a lot of stupid people in the world, I prefer they spend their money this way then another way.

Religion does not help. Under the guise of religion man impose false values and enslave his mind. The dream of all religions and Nations to make people obedient slaves.

[Moloch]

It's getting there...



US confidence in religion has dropped 20% in 40 years... so another 80 years til it hits 0%

It is a toss.  Both fry your brain.

LOL. So true.

We don't need religion to tell us that doing the right thing by others is the right thing to do. Some people think they need religion, but human nature is stronger than man-made rules. When enough people reach this conclusion, religion will die.

And the sooner the better.

[riskthebiscuit]

I do not know if they will die out fully, but if they do I doubt that will be in our lifetime. I think what will happen is that most people will be either atheist or agnostic and just not believe in a religion. But isn't that believing in something in itself ie a religion? Not in our lifetime I do not think they will die

[Md Saad]

Religions will die when all humans die.

People die, but they convey all knowledge about religion to their children and grandchildren, pass on sacred books and buildings for services. The death of people will not stop religion, we just need to realize that religion is already irrelevant.

The fact that a man himself will seek what he wants to believe. Never a man will remain without it. And if there is not one religion, then there will be another. Even atheists have their own convictions, And this is also a kind of Faith in something or in their beliefs.

Atheists have no faith. They doubt everything. It is not faith, and the complete opposite of this. I believe that any statement must have its justification or proof. Until this is not a theory. For me religion is a primitive theory which will never be proven.

maybe, they don't faith in any religion but they should have a strong argument behind their logic, from my point of that religion is the pillar of the world, when there will be no religion then there will be nothing in this world...

[masterwakokok7]

Religions made a lot of damage to human beings and our world in general. I'm not talking only about Islam, but every kind of religion, more or less, caused lots of problems.

I'm sure they will end. They won't last forever. But how will they end?

Which could the scenario that leads to their disappearance?

First, people made a lot of damage, not religion.

Religion is a man made . Most of the teachings of this religions makes people who they are. Bottom line, Religions made a lot damages not only to the its followers but also to the world.

[mariahh]

 Other religions die (for example the 12 olympians) and other are borned.There are many religions and the truth is that they were disputes,battles and terrorism because of them.I don't know if they will all die one day and I don't think that will happen this because people are weak and they like to believe in something unreal and miracles.Hoewever the science has helped the reduction of them and the posibly will constantly decreasing.

KoningSilk, friend, there are nihilists, who do as you say. And you know what? Darwin takes them out of gene pool, unlike the pious people.

We are witnessing slow process of desecularization around the world. Not through war, but the fact, that heroin smokers and existencialists fail to produce offspring in any noticable manner. You could call it both evolution or Gods justice, depending on your personal bias.

Similarly in the West, the only churches and madrasas that are growing through both natality and conversion are those, that stayed stauchly conservative, refusing any fashionable trends.

Like in every thing in life, there are good and there are bad things in it. It is same with religion. I can not say that religion is bad, because there are so much useful stuff in its teaching. But i do not deny bad things that were done in name of religion. I was speaking with friend about this theme, and we agree that approximately every religion live up to around 3000 years. So there you go, maybe religion will die at the end of 2999. year.

Religion does not die, but degenerates into another religion. Initially, there were teachings that were outdated and uninteresting to people. On their basis, other religions were created. They are all based on one principle: fear of God and submission to God

[pat4cryptoreal]

I do not think Religion will die because human being naturally want to be attach to a higher power. All the religion give their follower assurance of protection,provision and so on.

Replace the word God with the Natural Order and... where is the problem then? Because various religions do in fact try to represent natural order within context of human existence.

Refusal to accept the world the way it is and the way it works is not a sign of strength but rather of immaturity.

Just my two cents.

What guarantees can you give to religion? Nothing what they say the religious leaders never come true. How then can they believe. Every year the adherents of different religions will become smaller, but religion for a very long time will try to stay in power.
