As science directs us to be more educated and logical, will some of the main religions, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. etc. be dropped? Like how Greek and Roman pantheism is now a hard sell? Science is the reason I dropped all of the above religions and looked into Taoism cheekily. Without having faith myself, religion at all is such a hard sell unless you just believe in a "start" or isolated "God" or "order" or "simulation."
Regrettably being mean, I think Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam have their days numbered as further generations scratch their fingers at gods they can't see and tall tales built on history. Buddhism, too.
Perhaps we would come together and worship principles and practice habits without higher powers instead of be members of pompous "religions." The idea of an afterlife disappears as we more logically accept that we are the same as other life forms and only rot when we die.
The fact that there are successful competing religions suggests that there is no one religion that rules supreme, not one is ultimately wonderful, compassionate, and reliable. Will people become disenchanted with all of them when they are not given the head start of indoctrination? Will there be a generation that just says kaput to religion? Could someone just provide methods and values taken from other religions and create an order that nestles like a religion but counsels and is specially designed to serve the human brain? Are we one "order/plan" away from the eventual end of all religions?
What should be in this order?
