PLEASE, if you are OUT THERE …. and can HEAR ME …. SHOW UP! Science is making you more unbelievable by the year! You are losing support! The simple and HUMANE thing is to show up, NOT let us kill ourselves off by arguing over the spelling of your name, or which "book of rules" YOU WROTE! Schedule a book signing, O POWERFUL ONE! Clear up this mess YOU allowed to happen! Do that and the ones who don't believe or follow DESERVE to be punished! 'til then …. science is MY supreme light …. and George Burns will always be my favorite "God".

That said, suppose at some point we know beyond a reasonable doubt that there is no deity, or even if there is one, then it does not affect anything around us explicitly. Will religions suddenly become history? I doubt it. Religions are not just personal philosophies, they are also cultural elements. Look at Japan: there are very few people believing in the Shintoist vision of the world, nonetheless the temples, the rituals, the culture around it are all there, and thriving. People's view on the objective reality may change; their cultural and spiritual views, however, exist somewhat independently.
I am an atheist, but I celebrate Christmas every year. Why? No particular reason; I just like the tradition, the Christmas lights everywhere, the large trees on central squares... I am not big on traditions in general, but there are some that I enjoy following.

-Opium war
-Mongolian conquest of the world
-Most of the wars fought in East Asia(there are too many wars to count)
-European conquest of Asia/Africa/America(although they used religion to justify their actions, the core reason was to gather wealth)
-WW1
-WW2
-Roman conquest of Europe/Africa
As for your final question, I would say that I have no conclusive answer, but I think that people will make war over ever decreasing resources.

Further, I'm not convinced that in the majority of wars the tribal conflict in question was religious in nature. This is particularly the case given that religion is a relatively new phenomenon on the evolutionary scale.

One less thing to fight about is one less thing to fight about. Since that thing is, and has been, the cause of most wars, I think the answer is obvious.
Then again, humans are adept at finding new reasons for ...…. everything, so, maybe not.
