Religion will never die, but with the constant scientific advances and the unlimited access to information that people have it is becoming less relevant. The literalists are a dying breeed.
Most modern Christians use the Bible selectively as a guide on morality and not as a literal interpretation of the mythology. It would've saved humanity a lot of trouble if we had reached this point sooner.

Its losing its grip because its easier for people to live their life with no consequences than to believe their actions have consequences. This is not just with religion, its with our justice system and almost everything thing else in society.
As soon as church's allowed people to abolish their sins in a prayer booth to some bs minister was the beginning and end of the importance of organized religion because it started to bend to weakness of mankind instead of standing firm.
