There is no future for religion not merely because it cannot be scientifically validated but because religions are by definition a plurality of separate faiths most of whom claim universality, an impossibility in itself.
There is a scientifically validated future for spirituality which can and does draw on core elements of religious tradition. Triadic Philosophy is an example. Benson and others at Harvard and elsewhere have begun the sort of research that will eventually validate beyond contesting that what we have hitherto regarded as transcendance is in fact a documentable reality within the immanent frame, An example is not failsafe healing, but clear demonstration of the role of will in mitigating physical ills. Death is not overcome by spirituality but life is given a positive context based on such ideas as fallibility, continuity and triadic thinking.
