I think this is as likely as the return of Jesus on Muhammad's winged horse.
We are basically an irrational species. If it disappeared by whatever means, it would be reinvented. Linear, sequential reasoning is the exception and not the rule in human behavior. It is irrational to even believe in such a scenario as I see it.

Post of the day ! THANKS !

OMG, that would be awesome, but it is so far away!

More believers who have an open mind about Atheism slowly lose faith in faiths. ...believers obsessed with polluting our clean brains with religious filth do go away indignant and might wonder why they fail so miserably. ...doubt is the start of wisdom

why not an hour into 2039? who the fuck comes up with these figures?

Let's hope that prediction is correct.

That seems awfully optimistic, way too soon given how much work and headway still needs to be done. Certain parts of the world are getting along better than others, bit others still have a loooong way to go.

I would absolutely love to see religion die out in my time, but I can easily see another century before the real world wide ompact is felt.

I better start taking care of myself so I can live long enough to see it

defeat?

Yes and the same logic says that there will be an equal number of female serial killers by 2042 but of course they won't be paid the same

I would love for that to happen, but I don’t think it will happen that soon.

So our current political travesty is the death throes of religion?
god I hope so LOL

I doubt that A-theism will "defeat" religion ever. It is my hope that A-theism will just overpower religion and become the dominant social force on this planet. (IMHO)

Not in Africa or Middle East. People in these regions are miles away from civilisation.

Imagine that John Lennon.
