When will as a race grow out of this childish explaination for life and creation that we call religion?

Never.
Some religions will be much more limited than they are today, however - assuming we manage to avoid self-annihilation. Militant monotheism, that is the belief in a single God whose message equates to "my way or the highway" will no longer exist in anything but a brief minority.
A more apt term to describe the future's faith would be true spirituality rather than organized religion.

Fortunately, due to advances in science and technology, answers are being found for most things which our concept of God used to explain:
Thunder and lightning, floods, plagues, disease, death, life, etc, etc.
When everyone is educated, then there will be no more religion.

Originally posted by sonhouseIf people are educated, then even the gullible ones will chose science over religion, because it is more persuasive. (It has experiments to appeal to all people, gullible or not).
You underestimate the power of gullibility.
Never forget that gullible people only chose religion because they have been brain washed from an early age.
