I predict that all of the current religions will wither and die over the next 200 years.
Based on what? Eternal optimism in support of your own brand of belief?
They will be replaced by one uniting belief: a new order of religion that is fully nature-based instead of magical (supernatural).
What is that belief?
The idea of eternal life of worthwhile nature will be flawlessly reasoned and mankind will enjoy a new sense of purpose. I promise!
How do you predict this will be done? What is that purpose? How can you promise something that is only a prediction that is not predicted to occur in any of our lifetimes?
How do I know it will happen? I'm privy to how it will be done. 2020 is when it begins.
How are you privy and to what?
Call BS if you want. IDC!
If you do not care, why establish a presence on the internet? This always floors me. I am presenting myself to the world and making huge claims, but really I don't care. Really I don't.
Great claims require great evidence and d**n strong arguments.

I will neither answer questions nor respond to replies. I will say that you can forget all of those PEW projections. They don't account for the introduction of a dark horse or the increasingly viral nature of information sharing.
Yeah, I get that. You are here to teach us, but it is in some new cool covert style that teaches without telling us anything.
Are you sure you are not promoting some software product or something like that? If you are going to try and give me a Watchtower, you can just move on down to the next house.
In reading your responses I see several themes suggesting intellectual sloth:
Do you mean grand assertions followed by nothing or vague references. Yeah. I see that too. Is this the bloom of something interesting or a lot of hype?
1) Zero interest in how something this grand and visionary might be proved
Zero information on what you are talking about.
2) Preference to say it cannot be done- or reversion to magical explanations
No reason to say much of anything except comment on how the presenter is presenting.
3) An instance where unlikely is equated to impossible; this lame theist trick
We get it. You are not a theist.
Lastly, do not suggest that I miss the point of debating. I provided this topic.
You have asserted and alluded and nothing more. You have my interest. Heck, you may have the makings of a strong supporter or a challenging opponent or nothing, but how can we ever know? Providing a topic is not debating. Making assertions is not debating. Declaring you will not respond is definitely not debating. You seem intelligent, I think you can figure out the math we did on this.
