What can we do to promote Atheism? How can we unite?

RE: What can we do to promote Atheism? How can we unite?
The best method here to employ a positive image towards atheism/agnostism/deism, humanism, or secularism, is to be good people. However, this is not enough as it the ideology that the philosophical structure typically implies holds this back. The way we should go about this is change the image. While there are plenty of “charities” from atheists or non-religious folk. The collective group needs to walk a higher “moral” road, the religious folk as of right now are rather greedy, self-serving, corporate religions. To combat this in my opinion is as follows:

1. We need to create a very visible base that religion is not needed to be “moral”.
2. To establish step one, use reason, logic, and rationality to establish a moral code.
3. Combat the corruption, greed, and social injustice since the religions are not doing it.
4. Help out the poor, disadvantaged, and hurting.
5. Use science to cure people. (irony huh.)
6. Combat psychological illnesses and mental issues and not alienate them.
7. Heal psychological and emotional issues that religions either create or neglect.
8. As difficult as it is, we need to take some pointers from Jesus. Be calm, timid, understanding and patient with people as we debate them.
9. Push for scientific advancement, social progression, and humanism over pure profit, greed and power.
10. Finally become the “Light and Salt of the Earth” that religion is not.
