I grew up in a relaxed (not religiously fanatic) Catholic family. To me it all fell apart at 14, when I dared to critically think about it. Since then I have gathered as many books of the different religions as I could. The Bible was one of the last. I see new religions rising, constructed out of parts of the old ones mixed with new things. I can't see any really structured ones yet. I feel the old religions started pretty much the same. I don't believe in a higher, conscious power. I don't believe we are created, nor that we exist after we die. At most a few generations will remember us, now and then. I don't know any of that with 100% certainty, so that would make me an agnostic atheist I guess. I think we humans need to go for wellbeing, not pure economic/capitalistic metrics. Obviously you'll need a certain amount of money for wellbeing, but I also believe that there is more than enough to go around. It's just that a few take it all and we let them. We must finally take science and knowledge much more seriously. Hefty fines for bribing or forcing scientists and scientists that falsify data. Science it itself doesn't know ethics, so that has to be the human side of it: wellbeing.

I suspect that this might be true for the older religions? They are just not all that suitable for the times we live in. What I do expect is that the older religions will be replaced by more modern ones, that will turn into organised religion.
