It will never happen of course, religions come and go, and mutate, but they never really go away. But as I see it there would be several advantages if religion really died (as opposed to being stamped out):

There would be no religion to hold back science, though I'm sure politics would continue to have a crack at it. There would be one less division between people. Arguments concerning morality would have to stand on their own merits. Other than the social unit of the church itself, which could be replaced with secular groups, I can't see anything of real value being lost.

If religion were ended by force, I think the results would be horrific, because only a very repressive totalitarian government could manage such a thing. Political ideologies can be every bit as destructive as religion.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
