| − | 2.[[Confucianism]] is not a religion in the sense of the Abramhamic religions or [[pagan]] religions. It combines philosophy, morality, and social behavior, along with some religious ideas. Like Daoism and other Eastern religions, it leans more towards nature, transcendance and/or philosophical ideas, than worship of a revealed deity. The best word to describe it is probably something like “moral code” or “societal code.” | + | 2.[[Confucianism]] is not a religion in the sense of the Abramhamic religions or [[pagan]] religions.

| | 3.I think Christianity will remain on top. [[Islam]] will stay relatively the same or continue to expand, but not overtake Christianity. Anti-religious, non-religious, and agnostics will also decline. Hinduism, Chinese religions, Judaism, Shinto, and Zoroastrianism will all decline. Jainism and Buddhism will increase and Scientology will either grow or disappear. Even though the numbers will change substantially, I think the actual order will remain relatively the same, so I won’t list them all. | | 3.I think Christianity will remain on top.
