Pointing at history proves nothing because we have no clue what history would be like without religion. 

I will say this, we have outgrown religions usefulness because of all it's negatives. Time to fade and die.

There will always be poor people who will bow before religion.

Maybe for awhile, but ultimately doubtful once recognized as the social pariah it ends up being.
