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.
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.
If that’s what you choose to believe, all power to you. If you are gonna try to force your believe down others people throats, that don’t be surprised they don’t like it.

How do you go about doing that?

It’s not about spirituality though- or feeling good. It’s about following the truth and the life after this one.
