Will the religions of today eventually die out?

Edited on Mon Mar-01-04 11:57 AM by fujiyama
I was wondering what you all think of today's religions and cults compared to those of the past, such as the gods of ancient Greece.

How many more centuries do you predict today's religions will survive? Already in Europe we see an ever decreasing church going population. Many in European countries openly consider themselves atheist.

Even here in the US, while the present government is increasingly theocratic, I believe many are starting to think less of religion.

Though we hear much of religious conflicts, many of these are proxy battles for other causes such as territory, cultural history, etc. As more people embrace modern science, religion inevitably will be seen more and more outdated.

Am I mistaken?
