A very long time because there are a lot of believers out there still.
The fact that you or I choose to think otherwise will not change it.

Quite a lot of people are dismissing religioun/faiths in general... partly due to the belief that they are a cause of disputes between different cultures. So yeah, maybe in a few centuries...
People are dismissing religions on the whole particularly the alleged miracles performed by prophets (and/or demi-gods) and other far-reaching events associated with the respective religious beliefs.
However, the belief in God will remain solid until the end of days... perhaps in a modified and modern form

Um, do you think that because it gets moved to Mythology, that it means no one believes in it? Look at Paganism... Just because the majority of the pagan stories are considered myth, doesn't mean people don't believe in the Gods and Goddess' those stories are written about. Of course, many modern Pagans will tell you that the stories are myth, to convey an idea... but they still believe in the religious aspect of it.
So what would be the difference?

Just think of religions as the "active" section of Mythology and Folklore.
Once a religion loses all followers, it's called a Myth.
More of a political distinction than anything else, IMHO

People have been following the teachings of Jesus who was called "the Christ" for about 2000 years. To follow a set of teachings "religiously" means, by definition, to follow a set of teachings. The teachings work, if they are followed. Same with the older religion of Hinduism and the younger religion of Islam. They are religions, and therefore fit into the "religion and spirituality" section. Check your definitions, and not just your feelings, or you too might be labelled ignorant by somebody.

It will take centuries, but it will happen. It's the natural cycle of all religions. Some go strong for thousands of years, others only a few. But they all get replaced eventually. It will happen with Christianity sooner or later. No religion is immune to this phenomenon.

It depends solely on how long christianity stays the main religion. I would say around 50-200 years until then though.

It does seem like the Evil Atheists are driving a lot of them there, but the Evil Atheists always relent, they enjoy tormenting the Christers too much to chase them away permanently.

Good Question!
Another good question is why aren't the questions about Wicca and Witchcraft in the religion section?
Just wondering

Not long. For hundreds of years, maybe more, people believed in the powers of Zeus and Apollo and all the other Gods of the time. Religion is cyclical; christianity will phase out and another religion will take it's place, and that too, will be replaced with another.
