Which religions will stand the test of time?

Looking for the old results?
In the future of humankind, which religions will flourish, and which will perish? Are there any small religions today, which will be a lot bigger in future? Are there any big religions today, which will get smaller? Could a completely new religion come along and become a major world faith? These questions assume that God has not yet intervened in human affairs, and that there is a reasonable amount of religious freedom.
