Absolutely not, you can obliterate religion with science and reason, these only make more atheists not fewer.
Religion is merely a popular con game on the gullible, it is not needed, free or otherwise. You don't need to legalize imaginary gods to create a good society. You can't blaspheme against reality.
But it won't eradicate religion, no matter how educated humans become. Some of the most intelligent of scientists still manage to believe in a deity. Just look at the head of the HUman Genome Project.
