You are right... you've confused me totally.
Not much of a challenge but whatevs.
True, religion might not be eradicated even if indoctrination stopped being fashionable and an entire generation grew up without any pressure to believe any of it any more sincerely than their comic book collection. But even if faith managed to conquer the world again, they can certainly never stamp out nonbelief. So while in theory, getting rid of religion (perhaps not all irrational belief systems but at least these that follow doctrine) will be possible, getting rid of nonbelief is most definitely impossible, as small a minority as it may be.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
