I think the only model with any prospect of success is the "scientific revolution" model, where the old guard die off, and the Young Turks hold more libertine views; and even that model, analogized into this process of eliiminating religion, will require many generations of Young Turks, and still will not eliminate it, but only ameliorate its worst excesses.
