Well, I guess you could say that modern religion is what's left of the more descriptive religions they evolved from. Christianity's creation story used to be accepted as gospel (::rimshot::), but science has re-answered that question very differently and rigorously. Even in most Christian circles this is accepted.
Likewise, the psycho / social reason for religion is being unraveled as well - showing that religions' awesome memetic abilities lead to their spread. Also, historians and archaeologists are showing the earliest fertility religions and the genesis of modern religions.
While science isn't replacing religion, it's certainly shrinking it where one day it might disappear from mainstream relevance all together.
