That being said, I think a more reasonable goal would be to confine the influence of religious groups to religious spheres. You want to pray? By all means, pray your empty little head off. But you've got no power at all to force others to pray, or to exact punishment for their refusal to do so.

That is only one side of the problem. The other is about persuading people to drop emotional thinking(aka faith) and to think critically about certain sets of irrational beliefs they hold.
Would you agree with that?
