Hundreds of millions of people practice Islam peacefully. This is about an authoritarian state using Islam as a tool.

Would the world be better without religion? Probably, but realistically we'd still find other stupid things to divide ourselves over and other tools for authoritarian states to control their citizens with.

You're most likely right, but I'd still love to see a world without religion because IMO it would be much better than this.
