Logic is not a value system, it is only a framework on which we hang facts about our world.
Religious institutions have survived for thousands of years, it's true that they are significantly different, of that I'm sure, Christianity today is nothing like Christianity of the 5 century BCE, but they will never be 'out of people'. They will be different, but they will persist, you can bet you eyes on that.

Meh, there were religious systems before Christianity that lasted for much longer and are utterly dead today. I'm more optimistic that with the huge access to unrestricted information that the internet and mass communication provides, Christianity will go the way of Ra and Thor and Zeus, or at least transform so much that it's not even recognizable as Christianity at all.
