What Religion will last the Longest?

Postby Yacothiaa » Fri May 08, 2020 10:55 am

I think Christianity will last the longest, even though the amount of Muslims are growing more then the amount of Christians.

Christianity is still a baby religion. Hinduism has a headstart of a few millennia - and the Egyptian pantheon is still unbeaten ;)

The options in this poll are all kinds of crud. Two options for Christianity? Three out of five options abrahamic (and still no Judaism)? Nothing relating to Polytheistic/Pagan/otherwise non-standard faiths? Yeesh...

Maybe the OP thinks that the proliferation of Christianity and Islam are the same as Judaism.

I haven't seen anyone do it in a while but talking about Roman Catholicism as if it was a religion distinct from Christianity has been common in these parts on occasion. It's weird.

The Catholic Church is the one and only true Church of God and only Catholicism will prevail. Eventually all Christian churches will be reunited when our Lord Jesus Christ returns, and the entire mankind will become Catholic (but since there won't be split churches anymore one will probably say "Christian" rather than "Catholic").

The weirdest part is Catholicism is in decline, as is Eastern Christianity. Protestantism is the one that keeps growing.

Atheism is the only faith people are born with. Everything else must be learned or invented. And it's the only option that does not eventually change over time.

Given the sheer size and momentum of the Abrahamic religions, they really would be the best candidates as far as longevity goes. Christianity's core message tends to resonate better with people than Islam, and the rate of evangelism has been climbing since the 20th century, so I'd reckon it would continue ticking well into the 22nd century. After that point, science will likely develop to the point where Christianity (as well as other religions) will likely see a shift towards more naturalistic interpretations of scriptures. The other dominant worldview, of course, would consist of those who simply dismiss the existential questions science still cannot answer (ie. atheism).

Einstein's quote summarizes this future best: "Either everything is a miracle, or nothing is."
