They aren't going to cease to exist from this earth any time soon, but America is also pretty unique among first world countries with how religious it is. Like Japan is 57% atheist and france is 40% with most first world countries being in the 30s, america is like 9 or 10%. America is pretty unique for a first world country.

It wouldn't ever literally cease to exist entirely but it's pretty easy to imagine a couple generations from now religion just not being a big thing in a lot of europe and asia. It's less possible to imagine that happening any time soon in the US.

The US will be behind other countries in this respect but there's still been a pretty big decline in religiosity recently that will likely continue, between 2007 and 2012 the percentage of people identifying as agnostic or atheist increased by ~50%, and the absolute percentage of the religiously unaffiliated went from 15% to 19%, that's huge for just 5 years: http://www.pewforum.org/2012/10/09/nones-on-the-rise/
