Will we witness the transition from a type 0 to a type I civilization in 100 years?

[Cinjin]

No.
The religious will do what they always do and retard advancement.

I am more inclined to state that politics and global economy will have a negative effect on human advancement, not religion.

The politics and the economy of this globe are directly tied to religion. They are so intermingled that even countries that are predominately religion-free are caught up in the fact that a large majority of the world is not. We have millions of brainwashed half-wits like Drich, Godsdump, Undeceived, Statler, and the rest of the brothers in christ that spread religious stupidity like snake-oil salesmen. There's no way I would ever believe that we can achieve Type 1 status in a mere 100 years. 500 at best - probably more. As long as we have all these religious fucktards alive and breeding on this planet, we will be held back as a species. In fact, I'd wager that we are prime candidates for destroying ourselves long before we get the chance to rid ourselves of their filthy disease.
