Recent trends would suggest that religions are losing more and more adherents as time goes on. I see no reason why these trends wouldn't continue. Statistics (regardless of their reliability) show that as education increases, religious faith decreases. Educational standards will no doubt increase and uneducated people will someday be an extreme minority. Many theists are big fans of the "god of gaps" argument which will inevitably fall apart as knowledge of our world, universe and past is better understood. Gods of today will go the same way as all gods throughout history. I believe that the world will be better off as time progresses (assuming that our population survives long enough) with or without religion. Religion has become a source for much division. Segregation leads to serious problems, so if one problem causing factor is taken out of the equation, it will obviously be beneficial. Religion has and will cause great heartache to this world and I believe we would be better off without it.
