It's a meaningless wish.
How are you going to enforce making all religion illegal?
If attempted, I can't think of anything more unifying and radicalizing for modern theists than this laughable attempt. That's exactly how you'd probably end up with a new wave of hardcore theocracies.
It would be a generational process, not something immediate. Slowly educate and phase it out over time, until younger generations no longer see the need or rely on it as people do now. To act as if it is some completely impervious institution is just idiotic. It can't be done immediately, but it can and should eventually be phased out.
This is white chauvinism bullshit. You gonna tell me you're all for eradicating indigenous practices of colonized people. Because where you draw the line is important.
"Eradicate" is overly charged. I don't see any reason why ceremonies or cultural traditions would be erased by providing more scientific education to the masses.
The knowledge of our ancestors can still be taught, and traditions upheld without literally believing that there are dieties or ghosts or whatever.
I dunno, this just strikes me as the "veganism is flawed because indigenous people should be able to hunt" argument, but applied to religion.
