I actually think the opposite. I think the scorn many feel toward theists on account of their flagrant lack of objectivity will eventually be understood as fitting the human mind very understandably. Perhaps then those whose minds are wired this way (theists) will become more accepting and stop their damnable, self-righteous proselytizing. On our side we'll simply see theists as operating in the world with their minds adapted to play both parts -god and man- very often in a manner which permits them to be objective and rational in all other regards.
Could happen. But the number whose brains become wired for god will probably dwindle if such an understanding became commonplace.
