So, religion will thrive until it does. And if extinction is in the cards, it won't be because of Christians. It will be in spite of them.
Information indicating the nonexistentence of God is sufficient but not necessary for said information to be considered a selective pressure.
Selective pressure in your example is artificial selection. I will go a step further and say there is no longer "selective pressure", and only "artificial selection". The only thing that would achieve a "selective pressure" at this point in evolution is a [natural] catastrophic, life changing event.
So, in my hypothesis... God IS actually "selective pressure". And humans are "artificial selection".
