What will be the future of Religion in the World?

[sean]

Religion will become more humanistic and less supernatural, superstitious, and irrational or it will slowly die out. But religion won't ever go away, and that isn't a bad thing. We all need stories to tell ourselves about why we are more than a tiny, temporary arrangement of atoms whose actions will never matter. As long as those stories get us to do good things instead of bad things, all is well.

I honestly don't care how many people are whatever religion they want to be. We have a tendency to organise and create doctrine. You just get rid of one organised religion to get another later. It is the nature of things. If you need a crutch you need a crutch.

How it will be religion in 2050? And in 2100? Perhaps most of you think that Islam will be probably the most popular Religion in the world, with Christianity falling and becoming a minority in Europe and North America...

The future of Christianity is in Africa, which now contains the bulk of Christians.

Spoiler!

Many incels in the West are incels because they are too shy to fornicate. That's a good sign and shows that their heart is somewhat clean and innocent. They should convert to Islam and get married.

As a believer i want to believe that some people will eventualy leave Atheism for Deism or others...Do you think that Atheist will no longer be able to convert or change their Ideas?

Religion in the west will only be convincing if smart people believe it, so it needs a relatively advanced theology. At the moment, the impression most people have is that the intelligent are atheist, which whether true or not, the less intelligent will just defer cognition.

I think the future of religion will be something between Gnostic Christianity and Hindu Brahminism, like partial pantheism. If you abandon many characteristics of the omni God and attempt to argue for a more cosmic deity that may or may not be directly aware of humanity, I think you reach something distantly believable even by the most cynical, sceptical atheist.

There won’t be any religion in the future. People will form tribes around their social class and common identity(being from similar places or living similar lifestyles) and of course some kind of social and moral codes will develop within these tribes.

Also that statement about incels is just incorrect. That’s like some normie way of thinking about incels. You think they are all shy to fornicate? Go on actual incel forums like half of them are escortcels

What is religion? we do not know about this concept except for taking existing paragons which we do not understand very well ourselves: Christianity, Islamism, Buddhism and other precedences like Hinduism and Egyptian cults. They existed and still exist without offering any direct explanations of their emergences, all we get is myths or mythlike legends and allegories. The real problem is people unawaringly presume to know something which they do not. For example, I do not realy understand Buddhism myself but I still pay due respect to this belief system. It would be more safe to call religions as belief systems for most people, for such expression touches more intimately with most peoples inner state of awareness about the concept of religion, so that it helps us to understand this concept in relevance to ourselves.

It is sure I am aware of the fact that calling a provided term as the definitive definition like "religion" is assuming more implications than ones own relevance to it and buying into other peoples conditions, that is some other peoples religion other peoples believes. As most people can only touch a superfacial part of the entity which we call as religion in our conception, it is more reasonable to only consider the relevant part of this entity to us. So, before knowing more about these existing belief systems, I pay due respect to them, and am able to learn a lot from them: there is something you do not need to understand before paying respect, this is probably my suggested definition of religion for most people. I do not think some elites are outstanding enough to decide everything for us in this matter. This is all what I want about the religions in the future, I do not want to be lead by the nose by another specious human being without my acknowledgement. Either love, pity, charity, facts, science, prosperity, truth you might call it, do not force on anyone, on me, leave me alone. This is my general opinion on the future of religions: do not try to decide for everybody, you are not Jesus Christ, then everything will be just fine, everything will be as good as the past and now.
