Thirty or forty years ago, I remember reading an Isaac Asimov novel set in the future by a few hundred (or so) years. In it, he posited that thanks to leaps and bounds in scientific advancement, religion was all but eradicated. I think that was a real expectation by a lot of educated people in the day.

Although we do see church attendance dropping, and more younger people identifying themselves as "nones", I see a disturbing parallel trend of proudful ignorance and science denial. Where it'll end up in 50 or 100 years looks frightening to me. The Muslim population is growing in leaps and bounds, so other religions and belief systems will be outbred. (The semi-predictable numbers are quite scary actually).

All this to say, I don't think religion is going away any time soon. We're too stupid and greedy as a race to agree and cooperate on any one thing, religion being the most divisive of them all.

I used to believe 20 years. With the resurgence of folks who feel it should be part of politics - I'm not sure. I always hope reason will prevail one day. Less wars too!

In America, I doubt it will happen in my lifetime I'm 51.

Another 20-50 years. Christianity at least.

Never. Truth has no particular power and demographics is destiny.

Fact: religious people have more kids.

I don't mind being on the losing side if I am right but I am under no delusions that it makes any difference to anyone but myself.

Whenever aliens with obviously superior knowledge show up for more than a flyby or a quick anal probe.

With the resurgence of old religions making foot ground I would say never. I think they will just cycle through as a whole. I firmly think that most of the populace can't accept reality as it is and needs something to make it ok to go from day to day with the prospect of something better later when life gets hard.

At the rate we are going...I don't think I will see this in my lifetime. With that said, I'm only concerned with my immediate circle. This is why I joined this website. I prefer to engage in conversation, exchange of ideas, etc., with those that do not believe in 'white bearded men in the sky'.

When the human race starts over because they finally kill everyone with nuclear weapons hoping for revelations and the rapture lol

Atheists and Agnostics are still the minority by a huge margin. It's not going to happen any time soon, if at all.

Never their religion thrives off of hating other religion. To this day I see kids reacting the hate their parents teach for those who are ungodly as they call it. Nothing but hate or fake love is what O get from my family.

In the case of Christianity at least, I wonder if perhaps the truly religious - as in those who genuinely believe everything in their holy book and that they will be judged after death rather than those who simply say they're religious and god-fearing for the sake of appearances - are already the minority. The way a lot of them behave certainly suggests so.

I don't know, but it isn't happening nearly fast enough.

Interesting question. I think the indoctrination of the young needs to cease in order to knock it flat. Unfortunately, the more zealous sects - particularly the fundamentalists - appear to be not only surviving, but thriving. This is a dangerous road, I think, because religion will get more and more extreme as the more moderate congregations fade away. When I say extreme, you can also read that as dangerous.

I cannot say the exact time/year, but I firmly believe if and when humanity makes contact with or discovers intelligent life on another planet, at the very least the 3 Abrahamic religions would fall apart, as life on other worlds is a concept that is not supported by their holy texts. People would be able to see beyond a doubt how fraudulent religions are.

Religion will be done by 2070 and then a buncha followers are gonna feel lost and we're gonna see some major upheaval.

One thing that would hasten the demise of religion, in the USA, at least would be to tax church properties and abolish income tax deductions for contributions to religion. If you want to have organized religion, do it on your own nickel.

It'll be a while longer, probably more than a hundred years ...

Maybe we will get lucky and find a Class M planet and a propulsion system to get us off this world and to a new one and lets face it, the religious science ignorant most likely won't be brave enough to leave this planet for the unknown. It will be our nonbelieving science minded descendents that will create a new society without religion holding back scientific advancements.

I think that officially from last census religion already is the minority in my country. New Zealand. It certainly is no big deal here.

I feel at least 25 years for America to have religion in the minority. It is about 25 percent "unchurched" now so I estimate 1 percent reduction every year so it means 25 more years toward 50 percent of all people having religion.
Americans are about 70 percent Christians from 2014 survey by Pew Forum. But it also showed people up to 34 years of age are 56 percent Christian. It looks like new generation is quickly reducing the percentage of who are religious people.

Never.

be at least a few centuries in the world.... america will come dragging behind.

Been to China a few times, they do not talk about atheism. Unless it is a secret fight club. Rule no. 1 don't talk about the fight club. Yet, for most part China ignores Religion like Agnostics.

Since non believers is the fastest growing group in the world. Religion won't be the minority in my lifetime. Yet it has lost already much of it's superior Supernatural delusional powers. It will stick around like phony social clubs. For fear of being cast out or dying like a lone wolf. Better to form other kinds of social outlets.

Last Supper ha-didn't think Holy Rollers got tatoos-only heathens LOL.

Interesting question... I think it will be 500 years or more. That is because while the great awakening has begun, humans as a population are slow. The next 20% will come harder than the first 20%
