You're halfway there. The sadness is that religious feeling, which is false, cannot be eliminated in humans, as you correctly observe. Therefore, what must be done is to change humans so that they cease to be human and come to be in conformance with the truth of a godless and arbitrary world, and to be at ease with that truth. Obviously this could be done by extinction, but this is a dull example. The Chinese provide one model; Nietzsche and sci-fi others. All preferable to ungrounded sentimentality.
