Theothanatology

The belief that God is dead, or in other words, that religion is dying off. This was coined around the moment in time in which humanity was awakened to the idea that a theistic God may not exist.

(In Greek, Theos means God and Thanatos means death.)

The death of God movement is sometimes technically referred to as "theothanatology."
