Indeed! As one of my favorite thinkers, the "Great Agnostic" of the 19th Century, stated:

"Nations, like individuals, have their periods of youth, of manhood and decay. Religions are the same. The same inexorable destiny awaits them all. The gods created by the nations must perish with their creators. They were created by men, and like men, they must pass away. The deities of one age are the by-words of the next. The religion of our day, and country, is no more exempt from the sneer of the future than the others have been. When India was supreme, Brahma sat upon the world's throne. When the sceptre passed to Egypt, Isis and Osiris received the homage of mankind. Greece, with her fierce valor, swept to empire, and Zeus put on the purple of authority. The earth trembled with the tread of Rome's intrepid sons, and Jove grasped with mailed hand the thunderbolts of heaven. Rome fell, and Christians from her territory, with the red sword of war, carved out the ruling nations of the world, and now Christ sits upon the old throne. Who will be his successor?"
Robert Green Ingersoll, The Gods, 1872

Yes! As they say, religions are just mythologies that haven't died out yet, replaced by something more plausible or believable. I think humanity is ready for something more believable - like reality and scientifically visible facts. 🙂

An Anti-Religion Religious Metaphor. How ironic!
