I have enough faith and confidence in my fellow man to know that in time, man will evolve beyond the needs of religion. I promise you that within a few centuries, there will be no religion. That's not a threat to all the Jesus nazis in here who are sure to cruficy me for this; it's a prediction. Eventually, even Christians who were brainwashed from childhood to believe what their parents and their parents (etc) believed will wake up and realize this too.
And what do you base your thinking on? In a world of over six billion people, a huge majority of them practice one religion or another. Faith in it's many forms has been around since the dawn of civilization. It will never die. It will never even come close. And though neither of us will be around in a few hundred years, that's a promise I can make and die knowing it will be kept.
Maybe one day you atheists will give up the immature teenage rebellion and find a faith. :love: You're no smarter than us for lacking faith, you just think differently. You're also no better than brimstone preachers, trying to convert people and telling everyone their beliefs are wrong, with no proof backing it up. Atheism is just as much a religion as any, all it lacks is a deity. But not all religions have deities.
Besides, the Christian, Muslim and Buddhist faiths will never die because they are rooted in scientifically proven, established historical fact. Jesus, Mohammad and the Buddah were real people.
