We don't need to get rid of religion altogether. If someone wants to believe in supernatural creatures, they're free to. Just don't look down on, or get in the way of, people who don't share your beliefs. Keep them out of power. Protect reasonable people from extremists. When someone in office says the mos important thing they want to do to solve real world problems is pray, they need to be replaced.
Pray in your home if you want. take comfort in whatever afterlife suits your fancy. Just don't try to turn the country into a theocracy, teach your kids that science is bad and that they need forgiveness for something they have no control over, or ostracize or harm people for not believing the same things you do. if they don't put their hands on you, don't put your hands on them.
I know the god of Abraham demands you shed the blood of people who don't worship him, but that just doesn't fly in civilized society anymore.
