Which Religion Will Last the Longest?

killer kung fu wolf bitch · June 29th, 2009, 07:07 AM

In the modern age, church attendance has been decreasing in the modern western world and the number of open agnostics and athiests have been increasing with society becoming more secular.

Islam (Sunni & Shia & other sect)
Christianity (Orthodox & Catholic & Nestorian & Coptic & Protestant)
Hinduism
Buddhism
Judaism

Scientology.

There's always going to be rich, spoiled and crazy people with something to waste their money on.

Not that I personally consider Scientology a religion.

This.

Either Christianity or Islam in the Western World.

Now, I'm not saying this just because I am one, but I imagine that Christianity will last the longest, like Sa'id said, in the west anyway. In the east, however, I'd have to say Islam

Isn't Scientology unstable and most likely to collapse on itself?

Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism will dominate in the East while Christianity while waning will still dominate the West.

It can't happen soon enough.

I see Islam surpassing Christianity in the long run. Christianity seems to decline in stability as the years go by.

Scientology isn't supported enough to survive and its proven to have negative and even deadly effects to its followers. It is also new and the way it hides its information and shady acts puts a big target on it from outside forces.

How is it declining in stability? It looks like its followers are adapting to recent times to me.

High birth rates help Islam out.

It could but overpopulation measures that even you said must be taken would stop it from helping. Thats if those measures are taken.

Buddhism, it has the only true non-violent message in any religion, and that will last, unlike the shaky middle ground religions full of superstition and far-fetched ideas.
