This question is for atheists only.If that was the binary choice, no. Indeed, I would not press a magic button to rid the world of religion and all memory of it, because the world is not ready for that yet. Someone would just invent new religions. On second thought maybe I WOULD press the button because if religion were invented today it would probably be in some ways less ignorance-based, exclusivist and rigid, and therefore on the whole less toxic. Most of modern religion is a holdover from far more primitive and out of touch ancient religion. A reboot might well be an improvement.
Six of one, a half dozen of the other. I'd press the button just to fuck around with buttons. What would the difference be? Nothing at all. Is the vieled threat that fundy muslims would attempt sharia? The christers have been doing that for centuries, even here, even the "moderate" ones.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Where's the "replace Islam with Christianity" option? Because I'd totally do that.
I'd also replace, Catholicism with Protestantism though.
Nah, the protestants are giants d-bags. At least the catholics don't believe. If we replaced islam with catholicism then the world would be full of a bunch of socialites who dress up and go to church on holidays - sometimes.

Here's why the question is nonsensical, at least in my view. It's akin to asking would you like to replace cancer with AIDS, or depression with anxiety, or a broken leg with a broken arm. Neither is particularly appealing, or welcome, and one would be better off with none of the above.
In my view.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

According to the 7th Commandment the requirement is just three days a year. Exodus 34:23-24 (CEV) = "23 Your men must come to worship me three times a year, because I am the Lord God of Israel. 24 I will force the nations out of your land and enlarge your borders. Then no one will try to take your property when you come to worship me these three times each year."
Another broken promise, it would seem. Those fuckers have been putting in OT for centuries, and yet, they just keep getting the shit stomped out of them.

If it was a choice between the Sufism that Richard Thompson practices and the more batshit brands of Christianity, I might consider it.
Of course, this all raises the question of how and why one can or would do such a thing.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
