I don't think imperialism is going to necessarily end any time soon either. The world will get smaller and smaller as people move to and fro places they've never been. Even now, I don't think there's a religious belief on this planet that hasn't been faced with that terrible question of, "Can you prove it?" Hell, I don't even have to ask it myself, nor anyone else. EVERYONE asks that question at some point to themselves.

Give it easily 100 more years or more. EASILY. Skepticism isn't necessarily a written down competing dogma for the religious inclination. It's nothing more than simple doubt. Are you SURE even now that there is very little doubt in religion in other places than the west? People used to get killed for having doubt in the west... in droves. Not much seems to have changed since then. Doubt is EVERYWHERE and it's in every person.

Time is on the side of doubt. In all honesty, I expect religion to become more and more casual; not that it'll go away. Kind of like how socialism is basically inevitable. Capitalism can't and wont forever exist in the sense that we understand it. Some things change and some things get replaced.
