No matter what holy place of whatever religion, I don't want all buildings or references to religion to disappear. Humanity does need a museum of bad claims to know how bad logic looks. Modern Egyptians keep the Pyramids without believing the sun is a god.
But I never see a day when religion completely goes away. I do think however we can push to minimize the damage it causes and foster more reason and science.
I say keep the Vatican and turn it into a museum to remind people that humans are always concocting superstition. Even in modern times new cults and religions are started.
