Yes(religion would survive) because (most?) religions believe in an all-powerful diety therefore the diety will not be part of the knowledge extinction. The diety would impart the knowledge of the religion back to a person(a prophet?) who he deemed worthy of taking on the task of preaching to the world. This is just a repeat process of what is taught in scripture in the world's major religions. Take Islam or Christianity for an example, where it started from 1 man and sprawled into two most dominant religions of the world. If we were to say no religion wouldn't survive a ressurection, then this would be from the intial position of assuming an all-powerful diety with a plan for mankind doesn't exist. |
But in that case you would make new assumptions. One being that this god actually care about its creations and is willing to interfere with how they live their lives, another being that making everyone lose their faith at one point wasn't part of this deity's plan all along; to test the potential faith of newer generations who are surrounded (or maybe distracted?) by high technology and more developed science based education. Another theory would be that the deity may have realized that the time has arrived where religious faith actually causes more harm than good, making the people more healthy by being non-religious. (<--- Or at least that's how a truly sympathetic and almighty deity should resonate if that was the case, in my opinion.)
Still, the thread is supposed to assume that there is no god, given how the existence of gods is not backed up by science. But yeah, it's fun and interesting to play with the thought.
