What do you think the world religion scene will look like in 2000 years?

Let's fastforward to the year 4000 A.D. Now assuming people are still in existence and haven't been wiped out by an asteriod, war or started colonizing other planets, what do you think religion will be like?

More specifically: do you think today's major religions will be practiced? Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam? Or maybe a new, popular religion will have spread widely among humans by then? Maybe religion won't exist? What do you think?

Religion will exist, but Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam will be look at like we think about Greek mythology.

That's a big question. A question best left in the hands of qualified sci-fi writers. Most people on this forum will likely default to their own beliefs or go with the lazy answer that religion will not exist, anymore.

There will always be religion. How heavily we allow it to influence us or dictate our politics may change, but it will always be there. It exists at all and in it's varied forms because of humanity's need to create it. That won't go away.

People forget that all religions of the past and present were created by people. Creating religions seems to be a human activity that may have evolutionary advantages.

Well if we don't destroy ourselves, I believe only knowledge will grow and religions as we know them will cease to exist as we know them today. It could very well be found that there is some sort of truth somewhere that will blend with science.

In all likelihood, we won't last another 2000 years, or if we do there will be a huge fallout in the way life is lived, and perhaps technolody will finally reach the stage at which we can become transhuman. In other words, it's FAR beyond our predictive abilities.

2000 years?

There's no way we could even say what species we would be let alone what religion would be like.

Barring transhumanism, even 2000 years is a relatively short time for evolution to work any large-scale changes. So this isn't quite true, and it's overwhelming probable that, say, current humans would be able to procreate with human beings in 2000 years.

In 2000 years I figure there's a relatively good chance that people will have changed their physiology artificially to a point where they would be effectively a separate species.

Right, the transhumanism I mentioned. It's a fair assessment/prediction though, and likely has quite a bit of truth to it.

A separate species?

Scientology will be the dominate religion... You heard it here 1st. Hubbard will be some kind of messianic figure, and will have duped the entire planet.

We'll have Jedi Masters by then....

However, I think Buddhism is more resilient then other religions, but no one knows the future.

Why Hinduism? It predates both of those religions.

Orgasmism will flourish, like it should, and people of all cultures will enjoy the wondors of unleashed ORGASMIC BLISS droolio. Repressed Sexuality will be NO MORE !

WE will all realize that the greatest power in the Universe was here all along, in our genitalia ! And we will all enjoy eternal orgasmic paradise under the teachings of Orgasmus !

dd

Okay, in all seriousness....who knows.

I think Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism will be what Greek Mythology is to us now.

Buddhism may be more of a lifestyle than a religion, I don't think it will be considered a religion in the future.

Who knows

I was just coping what Quiero Mota had written. It can be more impactful to use the same wording in a counter argument.

We´ll all have chips in us from birth making sure we believe and do what the NWO wants us to.

Unless we rebel in time.
