Sure well, I don't treat religious belief any different from belief in ghosts or whatever. I don't know what more you want me to do. I can still be civil to someone and respect their good ideas, while calling them out on their bad ideas. But I can't make other people behave how I want.
I agree, tax breaks for religion should go also. It's dumb and unfair.
So it seems we're in agreement, except I have more faith in the power of encouraging rational thought. It's going to be a gradual shift in attitudes, and that happens through discussion, and over generations. If you give up on that, you've pretty much thrown all hope away, since I really don't know how else you would plan to accomplish your scenario.
