If most of the world's secular civil laws are based on the ten commandments, via the influence of Christianity, do you really think killing Christianity wouldn't have an impact on those laws in the future? Take a few examples - slavery, infanticide, and child sexual abuse. These were widespread in the pre-Christian Greco-Roman world and in't it only the influence of Christianity that got rid of or criminalized those things over time? I think it's really short-sighted to think we can get rid of Christianity but keep the cultural and moral influences of Christianity.
