"Satanism" is essentially a sect of Christianity, since in order to worship Satan you pretty much have to buy into the whole Christian mythology about who the entity is, what it does, etc. Satanists are probably stronger Christian "believers" than a lot of regular churchgoers, because they have to be. They probably read the Bible a lot more, too.
Anyway, unless the NWO can get a billion Chinese to convert from Taoism or whatever to some kind of workable form of Christianity, I don't think Satanism really stands a very good chance of becoming the world religion.
Besides, the NWO is only going to care about a person's religion if it somehow starts interfering with trade -- blowing stuff up, releasing superviruses, etc. As long as it doesn't impede the flow of goods and people around the world, a person could worship the Easter Bunny in their underwear. Otherwise, why would the NWO even care?

How much would you be willing to give up for world peace?
How much would you be willing to give up for the chance for all of humanity to come together and explore the Universe TOGETHER in unity?

Honestly, do you think humanity will ever work together in unity. Humans are humans, we all have faults and weaknesses and desires and anger and greed to a certin extent. I would like to think that all of humanity can unite for goodness but it will never happen.

The NWO is truly about a Holy war, both in Heaven and on Earth. This one world religion will not be Christianity.
She believed that all religions originate from the same spiritual source, and that humanity will eventually come to realize this. As they do so, she claimed that it will result in the emergence of a universal world religion, "Then there will be neither Christian nor heathen, neither Jew nor Gentile, but simply one great body of believers, gathered out of all the current religions. They will accept the same truths, not as theological concepts but as essential to spiritual living; they will stand together on the same platform of brotherhood and of human relations.

How convenient wouldn't you say? The devil exists but you will never know he exists because while he's existing he's pretending he doesnt exist so that when humans finally believe he doesnt exist he will pop out and say he does exist..and for what purpose? who knows..sounds like an idiot with too much time on his hands,or maybe thats me.

A survey that could include some variants of religious type was the World Values Survey 1996, with
these results (you must take in account that answers in dictatorships are more conditioned): The 4.9% declared to
be religious, the 51.3% not to be and a 43.8% said to be atheist. The given affiliations were a 0.4% Catholic,
0.1 Protestant, 0.1 Orthodox, 1.3% Muslim, 1% Buddhist, and a 96.8% said to have not affiliation. But these
correlations changed in WVS 2000 as those declaring to be Budist were a 2%, as Catholic a 1%, as Protestant
a 2% and a 94% said was not member of any religion
