If someone could magically have me stop believeing false and harmful things, I'd consider that a good service.
But that wasn't your question. If the wand wave was to have everyone stop believing false and harmfule things, I might be able to go along with that.
Wouldn't that remove all religion? Unless you believe there are true and non-harmful religions. But then it goes back to what I said it all boils down to - whether you think religion harmful or not. Not overriding people's will seems a red herring, in the sense that you're OK over-riding it to remove false and harmful beliefs. So the only conundrum seems to be whether one holds religion to belong to the set of false and harmful beliefs.
