Imagine the peace, the unity, the equality, the freedom.

PURE imagination.
In reality, humans would just find another reason to justify their warfare...be it nationality, race, gender, or whatever.
As long as people identify with some group...some tribe...there will never be peace, unity, or equality.

Just because people fight over religion, doesn't mean they don't fight about other things. I know it appears all wars were fought due to religion, but most of it was based on way pettier stuff than that. Hitler didn't care that the people in the Holocaust were Jewish, he cared because the Jewish people he was persecuting were not what his 'master' race looked like, they were blond hair and blue eyed, and the Jewish people usually have dark hair and dark eyes.
Most racists and biggots care about skin color and they won't go away if religion dies.
Bin Laden didn't want to kill Christians, he wanted to kill capitalists.
Truthfully, I can tell you I don't believe any religion has ever said that it's stories were completely true. But they are supposed to be judged as metaphors. They are all guides to live your life.
Personally I'm not an atheist and I don't fancy any particular religion, but I believe that if it weren't for religion that we would all still be living in trees flinging poo at each other. It is probably the main component for having a civilization, aka society as we know it today.

Why are you blaming religion for what man has chosen to make of it? The heart of most religions is love, peace, and respect for others.
It's the human race that chooses to pervert the central message of the religious founders and turn their beliefs into a battleground.

Religions will only die when there are no believers. The thing is though, as one religious practice dies, there is another to take it's place so there will always be one form of religion or another in society.

Never. Christ will always there for his people. Being a successful Christian for a long time I believe that you will be happy and be free from the bad

It depends. Optimistically (that is, assuming our technology keeps going forwards at a reasonable pace), I'd say within the next few hundred years. Of course, if we blow ourselves or have some kind of huge disaster, all bets are off.

It's doing it's big dramatic dying swan act right now, melodramatic to the last it keeps gurgling back to life to say a few more hammy theatrical lines just when you think it's gone.

Not soon enough for me. Or for the inhabitants of Iraq, Iran, Chechniya, Kashmir, Palestine, and many other places.

Yeah, the socialist nightmare that Orwell was afraid of. THAT'S something to look forward to.
