Although technology is not allowing woo or superstition to hide so easily, lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Always remember that evolution is on going and never stagnant. Nor does it require a label to continue.
I will agree that what happened in the ancient religions of polytheism dying, can happen to modern religions, there is also nothing stopping new monochromatic delusions in the future from taking new forms.
The key is to remember that any form of worship, be it of a state, or a god, or even a "philosophy" can lead to very horrible things if the ability to question those things is oppressed.
I think we are growing as a species, but we cannot forget that evolution has always had, and will always have a side of benefit and a side of destruction. We have to remember that evolution is a process, not a label.
