That's awfully pessimistic. I don't think there's any place for religion in the future. Some other exotic forms of perceived irrationality, sure, but religion - not likely. In this century alone, science will very likely transform our world beyond recognition. Basically, my guess would be the whole world will be like Western Europe in this regard not very far in the future. Religion will die a quick death at the hands of sudden changes in society that can be expected to happen due to various transformative technologies that may very well not only change how we live, but how we think as well.
