I am optimistic but only time will tell and further research will be needed. Also I feel this is a little too optimistic.

How can religion disappear? I think the author means people will no longer go to church or believe in God.

But religions disappear? That sounds like the grammatical fallacy in "the war on terrorism". No matter how many wars we fight or how many people stop believing in God, the words "terrorism" and "religion" will always be in the dictionary.
I think he means that Religious practise will no longer visible in the mainstream culture and it will be more personal and religious buildings will be repurposed, I think, that's my 2 cents.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
