I still think you are dumping all religion and religious people into one pot based on their unfortunate theological association (in name only) with a few fanatics... and a bunch of people scared of the concept of death.
It's very nearly pointless to villify all religion. It's almost as bad as saying that you hate all men, or hate all women, or hate everyone with red hair. Most of the world is religious.. and if you hate most of the world, that just makes you a misanthrope.
Anyway, you seem to have a lot of faith in the idea that a world that shuns all religion is a better world. Perhaps it would be... but evidence based on past attempts suggests, at best, that a society without it just finds new ways to force control on it's population, often by even harsher and less 'human' methods than religion.
