Many are talking about what is to come in the future for religion. Does religion have a future? In the United States, church attendance is still "robust". There could easily be a long future for religion in the United States although it could also easily disappear. Church attendance is up do to the events going on in the world such as the war and other problems. One of the writers comes up with this idea: "Is there not some way of transforming religion into versions better suited for the modern age? The three monotheism's were created to meet conditions in societies that existed man centuries ago. The fact that they have endured for so long does not mean they were meant to last for ever, only that they have become like some favorite mozark opera that people are happy to hear over and over again. But the world of music did not achieve final perfection in Mozart." I think that religion will eventually come to a point where church attendance is extremely small. At some point, their will be no more information to give out. People will not want to hear things that they have already heard in previous sessions. I do not expect this to occur soon but I believe it will slowly die out.
