        I never hid my contempt for most organized religions as systems of oppression throughout human history. At the same time I respect peoples individual spirituality, as long as they don’t force it on others.

          Any system of power is seen as oppression by those who dont beleive as long as people can choose their flavour of oppression we should be fine.

              So how do you expect to get rid of it without killing people?

                By people realizing they don’t need the construct of organized religion to be spiritual for example.

                    Mostly happens by itself when people get better education. I personally don’t do anything in particular about it, since it’s not like the most important thing in my life and I happen to already live in rather secular country were organized religions are shrinking.
