Indeed, I would not press a magic button to rid the world of religion and all memory of it, because the world is not ready for that yet. Someone would just invent new religions.
If you could, would you replace all of Christianity with Islam right now?
On second thought maybe I WOULD press the button because if religion were invented today it would probably be in some ways less ignorance-based, exclusivist and rigid, and therefore on the whole less toxic. Most of modern religion is a holdover from far more primitive and out of touch ancient religion. A reboot might well be an improvement.
