In the USA, yeah, there's an argument to be made for that.

That's very interesting. I await to see the effects with great anticipation.
I only know that friends of mine from Europe are almost all basically irreligious, with the exception of a couple of tepid Muslims, a tepid Sikh and a tepid Catholic. Oh, and a tepid Orthodox guy, who's now become thoroughly agnostic.
Within the next thousand years, which major religious traditions of today (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, whichever others you'd like to talk about) can you see dying out entirely? If any.
Will your own religion die out? I imagine not
Other side of the coin, which ones do you think are likely to flourish, grow, spread? What'll be the changes to such religions as they grow? Might they include religions that are currently pretty small, like the Baha'i Faith, the Rastafari movement, Raelianism, Cao Dai?
I'll be interested to hear people's opinions.
Kirran,
I have studied the Bible for over 50 years, and I have proved to myself that God' word is true, Rom 12:2. According to all the evidence I have found in the Holy Scriptures, there is only ONE Faith that is blessed by God, whose Proper Name is Jehovah, Eph 4:3-6. This makes all other faiths that do not believe and obey what the Bible says false, and will be destroyed, very probably before 20 years, from now, 2015. The belief of the Bible is the Faith started by the followers of Jesus Christ, called Christians, Acts 11:26. To be Christians you must follow in Jesus' footsteps, 1Pet 2:21. Only the ONE WAY was acceptable to God. In the early congregation the Faith was called, The Way, Acts 9:2, 19:9,23, 24:14. This WAY was that narrow road leading to life, that relatively few find, Matt 7:13,14. A Christian must exert himself vigorously to enter God' Kingdom, Luke 13:23, Matt 11:12
The Bible tells us that all that are called gods, he, God will destroy, and He will destroy everyone who worships these false gods, Jere 10:10-15. The Bible warns about following false gods, Ps 115:1-8. The one true God will destroy all false gads and everyone who worships them, Jere 10:10-14, 25, Ps 135:13-18.
The Bible even says that anyone who teaches anything different than what is written in the Bible is cursed, Gal 1:6-9.
Christians cannot be eating at the same table, 1Cor 10:20-22. Christians are not even to be yoked to unbelievers, 2Cor 6:14-18. Being a true Christian is not easy, for Jesus said if they persecuted him, they will persecute his followers, John 15:17-20. That people would go so far away from God's laws that they will kill His own people, thinking they are doing a sacred service to God, John 16:2,3. Many other things are requirements to qualify as a Christian, Matt 28:19,20, 24:14.

All religions who have following characteristics will die out:
- Those who don't believe in Word of Revelation from G-d .
- Those who don't believe in reason to the limit it could lead and where boundary of Revelation to guide humans starts.
Regards
So which religions does this leave?

This is assuming exclusivism is valid, of course.

All the religions will die out...
Except the true one...
This is not a claim...This is a fact...A scientific science...
All wrong ideas die...
The truth is one ...and Falsehood is countless
Christianity is not dying any time soon in South America, although it is changing a lot - mainly, becoming more protestant and more superficial.

You really expect Islam to eventually be adopted by all of humanity, don't you?

What an exciting world that would be lol.
Then why does religious belief persist in diversifying?
It is one version of Islam...Not all versions...
Just study the history of religions.
All true religions are included in Islam.
Is Hinduism included within Islam?
I have studied the history of religions a fair lot.
And I can tell you that there is just no way for a strict monotheism such as any version of Islam that I met to ever fit all of humanity. Nor would it be a good thing to make the attempt, either.
The closest we can come to that is by absorbing some of Islam's teachings and the luminary example of some of its best adherents (such as Badshah Khan) into other groups.
Some of Islam's heritage entered into Sikh Dharma, and I expect that to be the apex of its worthwhile fruits.
How do you feel about the Baha'i, Luis?
They mean very well, but got much too used to lying to themselves for anyone's good.
They are much too insistent on monotheism; much too set on appropriating other religions, particularly non-monotheistic ones which are just not compatible with Bahai doctrine despite their insistence; and perhaps worst of all, too much in denial of their own disrespect to other faiths.
They are very good on promoting the dissolution of ethnic conflicts and racism, though.

The opposite seems to occur at a greater frequency. i.e. more people leave Islam than convert to it.
