I don't really see any of those things eliminating peoples beliefs in god, or stopping them from inventing new ones, as we've been doing for centuries, hell, as we do today every minute of every day.
I'm not really a big fan of the idea of god belief going bye bye, personally. Our ability to invest impersonal forces and coincidence with a sense of agency and intent is one of our more endearing traits. It's why we instinctively yell at the hammer that hit's our thumbs..and that shit is awesome, lol. The current crop of religions, yeah..fuck em, they're spent and long overdue to be discarded. They had to kill people to keep time from taking it's course and even that didn't work as they simply changed from within. I want to see some new gods. That's my best case scenario, for my lifetime anyway. I'm tired of all these sequels.
