Will modern religions become future mythology?

@windstorm Said

Just a passing thought. If you take a look back in history, you will notice that what we consider to be mythology today were once widely held belief systems in the past. Take Zeus and Thor for example, people actually believed them to be living gods in those times, but now they have been reduced to the status of "myth". Religion in general will always be here in some form or another of course, but it seems as though this transformation listed above is an occuring pattern with almost all of them. So my point is, could modern religions that we know of today be considered mythology in the future?

why not start one yourself...
..if you could include lots of deflowering of virgins...signing over of credit cards....worshipping of idolatory like the Goddess of Viagra Jo Brand {you need a sense of homour with a phizzog like that} and all software is immediately available to the Cardinals 8)

I'll sign up to that your worship

Not quite right. Just as with Judaism, there was an exoteric view that saw things as literally true and an esoteric view that took things to be allegorically representative. You see, what was a system of cosmological algebra to a rabbinical scholar was already legend to the rabbis and then taken literally by the masses they represented before we were even here to butcher the legend by taking it literally wrong and giving birth to a bastard legend...uh?once removed.

Sure, and books like harry potter and lord of the rings will be the new doctrines for new religions.

I wouldn't be suprised if "The Force" morphed into a belief system.

@windstorm Said

So you're saying that even then, there were a few individuals who did not literally believe in the Greek myths?

@windstorm Said

That's already happening. There are a couple of these new belief systems based on movies, one is called Matrixism and the other one centers around that Yoda dude.
