To be clear, I think religions have had a far more negative impact than positive throughout history and should eventually be done away with. But realistically there's no feasible way to do that and won't be for a very long time so for now I think furthering education is the best answer we have.
I think organized religion is likely to disappear faster than you think, particularly mainstream Christianity. Church attendance is falling faster than a skydiver with a defective parachute, primarily because Christian sects are not addressing the wants and needs of their membership.
I think that as less and less people attend religious services, the more likely they are to adopt a more - for want of a better word - wholesome religious viewpoint. In other words, they might pay more attention to Jesus and less to St. Paul.
