What happens to religion if we conquer death?

What happens to religion if we conquer death?
We know that the human body is a biological machine which eventually breaks down due to old age and accumulated physical insults. What happens if medical science overcomes these limitations by some method?

Death is extremely important to all religion, especially the Yahweh monotheisms, which are really nothing more than apocalyptic death cults. If, through nanotechnology or advanced biotechnology, a person can live as long as they wish, what happens to the cults which rely strongly on afterlife promises to persist when the afterlife is no longer a practical concern?
