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.
I hate to sound like an atheist here, but the lack of proof and evidence will keep both sides strong.
No need for pressures, indoctrination or even dusty old books. "hard evidence"... or lack thereof is a powerful tool for everyone involved. And we won't really know until the very end.
Almost sounds like someone planned it that way.
