So by peripheral approach, I mean that you should start with the subject of gay people - Christians are usually taught by the church that gay people are wicked and secretly communist agents who are trying to overthrow the government, so you show them "Will and Grace" where they can see that gay people are normal like everyone else. Or the church teaches Christians that Jews still steal Christian children to eat them, so you show them Seinfeld and they see that Jews are people like them.
So when they see that the church lied to them about gays and Jews, they slowly get curious about what else are they wrong about, and you slowly come to telling them about evolution and how there is no evidence of the existence of gods.
These kinds of TV shows helped people abandon religion and religious leaders know it, that's why you can hear them talking about the "dangers of secularism".
Boru did no such thing.
