I mean, if we are looking at it optimistically, technological advancements, and an increase in readily available knowledge combined with the fact that the non-religious have been increasing for years, and look as though it will only keep increasing, I don't think anyone should be concerned with one ideology ruling, or even taking over others. It would take a long string of unplanned bad decisions in a row, and regretful risings to power, along with many other domino effect-worst case scenario events to take place, in order for something like religious war, or one religions uprising to even take place.
Stranger things have happened; Western civilization was set back twelve centuries thanks to the Visigoths, who are themselves now a footnote in history.
