The church, same as the state, will wither away as the social and historical conditions necessary for it's reproduction vanish. It will still exist for a long time, but the inability of the church to act as a tool of capital and model for socially reproducing capitalist hierarchy will cause it to devolve into a more primitive form of itself like the early revolutionary democratic Christians of the Roman era.
Abolition of religion is not suppression of religion, but the freeing of religion from the oppressive hierarchical fetters that have been placed upon it as a tool of capitalist and feudal oppression. A returning of all religions to a "primitive democracy" that is nearly indistinguishable from the model of the transitional state.
