If your religious beliefs are interchangable to the point you can more or less mold them around the facts is there really any point in hanging onto them? At some point it has to be painfully obvious its being used to fill the gaps in our knowledge we don't yet have enough data to cover.
What happens when that gap becomes smaller yet again due to human advancement? Will the concept of God retreat further back into the gap? When is that gap too small to hide in?
At what point are we to admit religion is the equivilent of an aging band-aid on a gunshot wound it can't possibly treat? That band-aid is no more a substitute for proper medical treatment than faith is for research.
Why humor it?
I know the question wasn't addressed to me, however, I believe there is a reasonably probable answer. As long we still have unanswered questions about the origins of the universe; or, people do not understand the accepted answer, there will always be people who believe in God(s). You have to remember that not everyone who believes in a creator also practices a religion.

I still do not think that belief in God(s) presents the human race with a problem; but rather, it is organised religion, controlled by fallible humans, which stops us from progressing.
