Could it happen? Will it happen?
First suggested by AC Clark [I think in 2061] as a natural step in the evolution of world religions.
It seems to me that many people in the US and other western cultures today secretly [or openly] hold beliefs that are a synthesis of many of the world’s religions. For example, I have known many Christians that really believe that reincarnation could happen. Although historically we have always seen the hybridization of religions when cultures clash, say for example in Haiti where we find Christianity and Voodoo coexisting, now we have the media to accelerate this process for all cultures, worldwide, and in concert. Could we eventually migrate towards a media inspired world religion?
