RyansWorld: The Future of Christmas

From Future

Christmas in the future will be celebrated at least until the 22nd century, by a slowly declining number of households and people. When people realize that Jesus Christ was a normal person with a wife and a son (not the son of God), people will eventually no longer celebrate Christmas. The world's populations will eventually convert to either atheism or Buddhism. Since more than half the world doesn't celebrate Christmas anyway, the abolition of Christmas means more profits for the department stores as they are able to operate on more days (people in religions other than Judaism and Christianity buy gifts for each other on the other 364 days of the year).

[edit] Will People Remember Santa Claus?

Santa Claus, however, will be remembered as a cult icon even after the holiday is no longer celebrated. Museums, historians, and fans of commercial mascots will remember this "jolly fat man" and integrate him into their theological exhibits depiciting the rise and fall of the Christian faith.

[edit] Effects on other Western Religions

There is also a significant chance that Hannukah and Ramadan may be abandoned as well, as people leave their Abrahamic religions for a faith (either atheism or Buddhism) that doesn't impose an artificial "right" or "wrong" on the masses. Instead, the people will do as they please (instead of having to obey God's will), and each individual will have his or her own idea of "right" and "wrong."

The censorship of religious content on cartoons in the 2000s as well a ban on religious programming on terrestrial television means that the world as we know it is growing less Christian. Homosexuals, liberals, university students, and internationalists all will praise the decline and inevitable downfall of Christianity. Add this with churches closing worldwide due to declining attendance, and by the year 2105, not even a city like New York City (which will have 25 million residents by that year) will have either Christians or a church.
