Well if you think about it and ask yourself, what is religion. What does it serve to mankind or a people who worship it. It is not just one factor of influence in ones life but rather many factors. In history religion was god/creator, rule/law, ethics/morality, science, philosphy, and even history which from it derives power, influence, and military ideas. So through history as the various sciences and other aspects of society develop, it is natural that inconsistancies, ambiguiities, and contradictions arise. So in that regard I wonder how Christianity will evolve itself in the next 200-400 years.
