Which religion will last longest?

Postby HunterBradleyLand » Sun Mar 07, 2010 5:10 pm

Which RL world faith is the most likely to last to the end of humans and why?

I personally feel that Atheism will last longest because with science advancing, most people will convert to the faith.

P.S.: I've been getting a lot of complaints that Atheism isn't a faith, so consider it as a belief.

Atheism is the lack of Faith. You can't stomp out Ideas and Beliefs. Something humans have tried time and time again, and failed at.

I'm gonna go with Roman Catholicism because I think it will always exist in some form since it is organized. I wouldn't consider atheism a religion.

Judaism, hands down.

Even if it dies out now, it's still holding the record for, what, another 5,000 years?

Atheism isn't a religion, although I'm sure it's already been said in this thread by now. Even so, I think Catholicism will last longer anyway. They have their own country for Chrissakes.

Hinduism and Buddhism are both arguably older. As is atheism, if you're counting it as a "religion."

I'd argue its faith in the lack of faith being the most reasonable way to approach life. But I wouldn't go as far as to call it a 'religion'.

I'd say Hinduism. It's been around the longest, and it's no less popular, and most forms are quite compatible with modern science.

Agnosism; all of the others, including Athiesm, can be disproven, and will most likely be disproven to an extent in all cases. Agnosism has absolute staying power, even if it is never the most widely accepted belief, or lack there of belief. Also, it's virtually always been around; even in earliest days of true sentience and society.

If you consider atheism to be a religion, then it will last the longest. People will always believe in disbelief. If you aren't counting atheism (which i probably wouldn't) then I'd say Christianity... they're everywhere.

The only way to disprove Atheism is for there to be a real God...

So...Agnostics somehow believe in God? :blink:

Christianity and Catholicism is more wide spread, Judaism is older, and Islam is renowned (However wrongly) for fanaticism.
Atheism isn't a religion (It's a Religious belief but it is the Lack of religion), Eastern religions have survived being stomped out, time and time again.
Pagan religions have been around since time immemorial and continue to last (As it's such a general descriptor).
But I think Hinduism will last longest.
They are the oldest religion still around and they don't piss anyone off to much. The others (Atheists included) will probably kill each other off, while Hinduism just sits back and watches the show.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but Atheism isn't a religion, nor a faith.
