> The logical (?) conclusion I come to when thinking about this is that religions, or at least religions that believe in a better world or better existence after this one would eventually die out in a world with immortality, because all the practitioners of said religions would let themselves die leaving only the non-believers to accept physical immortality.

This sounded logical to me at first glance, but this doesn't take into account the procreation of both believers and non-believers and the evangelical nature of religion. As long as people are being born there are more people to convert to [religion X]. Not to mention that this could create a whole subset of society where immortality is looked upon as unnatural and wrong. Theoretically, generation upon generation of people could be raised/trained/programmed/whatever to endorse mortality as a rule. Basically what I'm saying is this: I doubt mortality is going anywhere, even in the event that immortality becomes possible.
