    While I hear you and mostly agree, “abolishing” religion will not have the intended effect.

    Example: Much of Japan was atheist or basically non-religious before christians came along. Fast forward a couple hundred years, once christianity was legally banned in Japan, it just created a fuckton of martyrs and actually galvanized the remaining christians, who’ve persisted to today.

    Probably the only/most effective way to stamp out religion is education—plain and simple. Education and creating a secular culture is the way to go imho.
