Bullshit, people make music because they like to for a while in Europe the cultural power of the church meant that people interested in the ‘higher’ forms of music found it necessary to work within/for the church (so are fair bit of music would be preserved as it was done for sponsorship rather than for belief) but that by no means does this mean that without religion there would be no music.Col.

Wheteher they be the pagan of africa, old negro spirituals, classicals odes of devotion... without these we would not have any modern music. at all. Eliminate those from history and suddenly rock and roll, Jazz, rythim and blues as wll of all of their sub genres cease to exisT.
No thank you, i'll let history run it's course. Let fundamentalism peter out naturally as humanity gradually learns the lesson of how foolish it is to worship the invisible man in the sky.
EDIT: Furthermore what advances in engineering were made by the religious in their quest to glorify a diety? Look at the massive cathederals dotting Europe and the Pyramids of Egypt. This is idea is tantamount to throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Also I would love to see your evidence for claiming “Almost every form of art traces it's roots to religious influence. Every form of music traces it's way back to religous influences.” You do have some evidence don’t you?
Also what you are saying seems counter to the OP as it simply states that religious art be magically obliterated it doesn’t state that all subsequent art in anyway influenced by religious art will also be obliterated.
