Complex question there, Alex....and welcome, btw. Without creating the "Thought Police" I don't see how it can be done because there are plenty of people who are simply too stupid to ever give up their illusions of a sky-daddy watching out for them.
Still, given the harm which religion has inflicted on society (every society) since the dawn of the Agricultural Revolution it would seem possible to at least envision removing religion as an institution. The French Revolution did a fine job of this, for example....if only they could have sustained it.
One very positive step would be the elimination of all tax exemptions/subsidies for these parasites. Confiscation of church property and turning it into Starbucks franchises or whorehouses would be even better. If people want to believe in bullshit they can do so in their own homes without this whole god-establishment pushing its own agenda.
