At the very least , it takes generations to build up shared traditions and values across a society. If you want an atheistic version of that, you would need to start now and it’s going to take a long time to build.

Why do you think we would have to start from zero? Even in highly religious countries not all traditions and values are tied to religion, and even those that are can be disconnected from their religious roots.
I would just say the success rate hasn't been very high so far.
The current evidence suggests that as people have become less religious, society has become more fragmented and individualistic, with less shared values and less sense of community or family.
Shared religious community has been replaced by quality time with screens, not meeting in person in some alternative atheistic community.
