I don' think religion will ever go away no matter what we do or try to do about it. The only thing that will happen is that it will continue to change with the times but it will always be relevant. As I always say religion is the bane of mans existence: it fosters ignorance, dissension, prejudice, etc. Every bad quality of man is inherent in his/hers religious beliefs.
We can certainly try and reduce the amount of future brainwashed morons by kicking deluded idiots who call themselves "teachers" out of schools. Bibles and Qurans do not belong in the education system. It's like teaching children that stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White are historical facts.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
