How many thousands of years until current believers give up?

Every religion before the current big 3 has dwindled into non-existence. Over so many thousands of years believers of every religion die out, give up or eventually have kids who don't continue what their parents followed. New religions are born out of necessity for the people of that time to place their hope and ritual.
We're 2,000+ years into the current God of the big 3's religion. How many more until Christianity, Muslim and Judeism is abandoned like the religions before it?
3,000? Maybe 6,000? Will their be believers of any religion in existence today in 6,000 years?

Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.
--Mark 13:33
That's sort of the Christian Catch-22. Keeps us believers on our toes today and for billions of years to come.
Pretty clever, innit?

I think in about 100 years the majority of the world will be secular. 35% of US millennials are already non-religious. With the Internet, resolving the fairy tales in most religions will seem to be an exhausting mental exercise that most just won't waste their time with. In 200 years, you'll only find it in the poorest and most isolated areas of the world. In 500 years it will most likely be less than 1% of people.
But I would go back to my post to you a couple months ago. You need to let your anger towards Christianity go, and start seeing the positive in things. These threads are starting to become more and more neurotic. I'm not a Christian by any means, but your venting period needs to end soon. There are lots of great things to do with your life, and the food pantry at your Church does a lot of good things. It's possible to coexist with Christianity. Don't let the bitter atheist neckbeards mold your psychology.

I feel pretty confident that you're wrong about that one. Earth has been here for 5-6 billion years. My guess is we're about halfway home. Maybe a billion years or so give or take.

That's what people 90 thousand years ago may have thought. And the people of earth may have become non-existent, if they had stayed only as advanced as they were. 3,000 years? I think we will become civilized by then. Not letting the separate jurisdictions of countries allow for people like Kim Jong Un to put the world at risk, or anyone like him. Think United Nations but in a very literal sense.

this is exactly why i struggle with religion. so its been here for 6 billion years, yet im told to follow a man who came here just 2000 years ago? do you know how many thousand of prophets were before Jesus?
im a christian and go to churn and do my duty, however it does bother me. i think society is desperate for "something" to believe in to reassure ourselves that this whole life is not for nothing.

Jesus was no more or less the son of God than you or I. He was a man who lived an exemplary life. A life that we should all try to emulate.
That's it. That's the key to "eternal happiness" or salvation, or heaven, or whatever you want to call it. Help people. Give of yourself. Love your enemies. Don't covet, or hurt, or tell lies.
That's religion. Or, that's the Christian religion.

If it does last that long, I wish I could see if life is like that show futurama where cars are flying around in 3,000 years

This is exactly where I was. And then I made a decision that I'd ask myself some questions that previously were off the table. And more importantly, I would let myself not feel guilty if my answers to those questions started painting a picture that the Christian God I had built my life around wasn't real.
In retrospect, looking back, that was the moment I was free.

YOu'll be a believer before I give up. There are no atheists in foxholes or hell.

Christianity isn't a religion. That's what makes it different from the others.

You should ask this question to the pastor who did your marriage counseling.

Have you ever heard a salesman tell you "this isn't like all those other pyramid schemes, this one's different". That's what people who think Christianity is unique sound like, except they actually some how believe it.

I want to sit here and rip the people who don't believe or atheist or agnostics, but that's their right and they have just as good of arguments against religion than I do for it.
Whatever helps people be at peace with theirselves and sleep better at night, good for them.

Just let people live their lives how they want and you do the same. If there is no God, then what's the difference? Maybe they'll do some good in society in the name of their God. You're the epitome of the atheist stereotype that just can't wait to put some Christian in their place. It comes across as an insecurity no matter how arrogant you intentionally try to come across. And I'm non religious.
