Transhumanism has happened.
Everyone can change their brain to a computer brain.
We now have problems like the one in Ship of Theseus story. Are all religion now obsolete? Are there some current religion that will completely thrive naturally? If so which? When I speak of religion I mean all major religions buddhsm, hinduism, christianity, judiasm, islam etc.

Religions have been obsolete since the Renaissance.

6/7th of the population of the world is religious.

>obsolete: No longer produced or used; out of date.

Clearly thats not the case

I am of the theory that as humanity transcends higher, closed off, or fatalistic religions such as Christianity (not to offend, I mean it as built on faith, the ending of life, accepting things as they are, etc), will die off, but more open, not necessarily in a spiritual sense, but those based in philosophy would expand with us. Buddhism might become the dominant religion in the coming centuries.

internet explorer has been obsolete for ages and far too many people still use that, just because a majority of the planet is too uneducated, stupid to move on doesn't make religion at all relevant in modern times

Since understanding can now be perfectly transferred it will be short time until all religion is abolished as erroneous information.

At least until robojesus rises from the grave.

I doubt this is the amount of actual believers though. Usually in statistics when you speak of religions you can't have any good estimate of who is really religious. As long as you're a member of a religious group you're counted.
I'm for instance member of a Lutheran church, but I don't share any of their beliefs whatsoever (I just haven't bothered leaving the church because it hasn't craved any money from me yet). Statistically would probably be counted as a christian, though.
