Muslims

I think all current religions will slowly die off in the future. The question is, what will replace them? The sentiment to worship something seems to be a constant throughout human history.

Sentiment to worship? I'm thinking that the "sentiment" is just curiosity. Humans have been asking abstract questions for thousands of years. By contrast, we've only been able to access answers with any accuracy for the last couple of centuries. Worship has just become a habit, because it's only recently that there's been an alternative. Just sayin'.

Fair point. Although I think there will always be a "fetishistic" aspect to human nature, even if it comes to down to something as simple as someone's favorite shirt. Just because there is access to answers doesn't mean everyone will take the logical course.

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

Although the fundamentalists in the bible belt - who are the best haters on the planet - might beg to disagree.

You might want to go ex-directory, hippi.

We in Australia have nothing like these Bible bashing weirdo's lol

A fetish is just an extended aspect of curiosity. Old habits die hard, & there's thousands of years of repitition of the only explanation anybody could come up with to explain our existence & mortality. Memes tend to take on a life of their own, & will try to survive. All social changes take time. Multiple generations. But all things change sooner or later.
