Only the (impending) cure for human mortality will exterminate God. Science will finally attain the status of God when it finds a cure for death because the most powerful glue that binds people to their Gods is their fear of death and the 'afterlife'. I am guessing this will happen in the next 50 years.

2. The torture of the grave Islam and the afterlife

I think all Abrahamaic religions are fear-based control systems. The fact that they hold sway over so much of the world even today is testimony also to the human inability to meaningful introspection regarding the origins of life and existence. This inability creates a vacuum in most people that religion fills with these ludicrous theories. Most do not question these theories because they cannot come up with a better explanation themselves.

If we were to supply our theories of life to people, we would only be trying to supplant their dogma with our own dogma. I think the solution is to unmask religious ludicrousness respectfully until people question them enough to look for the 'real truth'. This is already beginning to happen I think.
