Atheism's new political wing..

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Advocate secularism and keep plugging away. Generally speaking as people become more aware of politics and the structures of the state they become more invested. If we consider that more people will be non-religious in the UK than religious in the coming decades, simple parsimonious math would dictate that it would be a political inevitability that some religious activities endorsed by the state will become a thing of the past.

but that's far too simplistic. Combating ignorance of politics and the matters of the state is the first step; knowing is half the battle after all. Ask anyone on the street where you live "What do you think about academies" or "what do you think of the lords spiritual" and you'll most likely get a blank stare. Secularism also obviously includes many religious people (being a religious construct itself), so I think engaging in a dialogue through the lens of secularism helps demolish barriers to the continuing secularisation of the state (after all, secularism is about the protection of religion and non-religion, and if more religious people advocate that then it can only benefit in the long run).

Finally we have to consider in our simplistic analysis that people who stand to lose something won't give it up quickly or easily. To that end, we should campaign actively to stop, immediately, all religiously based exemptions. We should stop tax exemptions based on beliefs, and we should certainly campaign to end state funded faith based education. The less there is to lose, the easier it is to facilitate.
