If I'd have to choose between being forced to believe in something that isn't there or to be prohibited to have any religion, for the sake of argument, the latter would in fact be better. However, there will always be a balance between the two and that's good. And for what it's worth, I hope you're right. The more people seeing religion is total bullshit the better. Then we can get on with evolution...

Being forced to believe and being prohibited to believe are equally as bad. I think by dismissing religion (essentially a vessel that channels spirituality), you are neglecting something very important, and something that makes us distinctly human. Without any spirit, there's no meaning to life other than to procreate and evolve. I mean, beauty isn't logical. Neither is inspiration. Not everything can be interpreted through science, and the things that can't be I think are instead interpreted by an unseen force, like a soul... religion exists to explain, personify, or embrace that soul.
Sounds corny, but I can't think of a better way to phrase it.
Anyways, no. I don't think humanity will wipe itself out.
