We don’t need to bring back religion, we need to bring back education

My thoughts on ways we can work to minimize religion:

1. Quality universal education. There is a reason evangelicals try to destroy the public education system whenever they get an opportunity.
2. Ensure that everyone has economic opportunity. Religion thrives when people feel hopeless.
3. High quality free education for all. Including university.
4. Critical thinking as a mandatory part of the curriculum
5. Tax churches
6. Universal healthcare and welfare rights
7. Stop voting for christo fascists

A much smarter man’s thoughts:

After any revolution, there is a recalibration. When you push the pendulum one way, you have to wait for it to swing heavily back. At the start of the millennium, the revolution was the New Atheism, and the pendulum was given a mighty secular-humanist push. These were the days of the “Four Horsemen” — Richard Dawkins, Sam Harriss, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett, all public intellectuals who agreed that religion generally had nothing good to offer the world and we ought to abandon it
