I think you're right, with the one exception that, in the future, with our expanses of knowledge and an atheist movement slowly but surely pushing back, religion will be seen like a cockroach too: we can't make people change their beliefs, but the environment of a future ever increasing in knowledge and the access to it, will be very hostile to those who have unjustified beliefs that are demonstrably wrong. You can see it now, with so many fringe beliefs rendered obviously incorrect by the knowledge we do have; who takes the flat earthers seriously, after all?
