Should religion really be destroyed?

I'm an atheist but I think that religion, or more specifically faith, should not be destroyed. I understand that the belief in god comforts many in an imperfect world and that some people really need the delusion to get along in there day-to-day lives. I just feel like religion should just reduced to the point where everyone regardless of , race, ual orientation, etc. is accepted and that religious authorities don't try to change people or impose things. I think what I'm saying is that the answer to so many religious problems is just to liberalize religion and not completely destroy it. What do you think?
