It mostly just killed literal interpretations of people's creation stories, it didn't necessarily kill their gods. I mean, most Christians actually believe in evolution, to my understanding (most mainline protestants believe in evolution (I think), and both the Catholic and Orthodox churches generally view evolution as being compatible with their theology), as do most Buddhists (who may or may not be theists, depending on type) and people of other religions.
Of course, this all depends on your definition of 'god.' If you hold that there is some being in this universe that literally created everything in its present state, however many years ago, then the theory of evolution probably killed that notion of god.
I'm not really religious myself, but that's my take on it.
Did Darwin kill God?
