    Jef,
           I think you are right on that. I totally believe that 200 years from
    now mankind will still be practicing religion but that religion will be
    today's vastly changed.
           If you wish to get a glimpse of where we are going I suggest you take
    a look at Clare Graves' site at www.clarewgraves.com/home.html
           A friend just sent me that and so I pass it to you. However please
    understand that Doctor Graves is into psychology not religion. I don't think he
    even mentions the word religion in his work -- certainly in none I remember.
    Never the less what he says applies to religion as it does to all of
    psychology.
           In addition, to know where Christianity is going I suggest you look up
    the Jesus Seminar. That old time fundamentalist religion is believed by
    almost no one today. In fact I am not sure I even have a clear idea where the
    fundamentalists are today.
