You have a kind of point with religion becoming more lateral instead of hierarchical. Depending on how you want to see that, you can write it off as an evolution of something that wont ever really go away OR you can see that it's a progressive moving of the goal posts; in a sense, agnostic theists who aren't quite ready to accept perhaps the finality of their own death but recognize how irrational a belief in a god actually is without empirical evidence to back it up. It really depends on where the discussion goes from there. Perhaps there comes a point where arguing for atheism isn't really worth it anymore.

It'd be a very funny time in the future when people start sincerely believing in the flying spaghetti monster.
