The best way to tackle religion is to stop treating it so solemnly, call its bluff and treat its claims head on and laugh at them.

Christians love to be persecuted don't fling me in the briar patch Brer Fox, whatever you do don't fling me in that Briar Patch! Christianity was born and bred in the briar patch. You can't fight people who want to be martyrs very effectively by giving them martyrdom. Doing that gives them the high ground, makes them look like the persecuted rather than the persecutors. But there is a much better way to hurt them than by banning them, forbiding them from doing things or attacking them directly: laugh them off. What they really can't stand is to be taken to be a bunch of deluded idiots performing ridiculous tricks and spouting bullshit.

Don't ban their activities. Don't give them any reason to complain. Join in with their celebrations. Join in with Christmas and turn it into a secular holiday under the badge of Christmas. Let them tell their myths but tell them clearly that they are myths and as such of no more significance to you than tales of Zeus or Wotan.

Take the Christ out of Christmas just as we have taken the holy out of holiday and the Thor out of Thursday.

Don't let them give the credit to God when it belongs to man.

Why would anybody ever want to work in the emergency room in a hospital in a religious area? Talk about a thankless job! You screw up they sue you. You don't screw up they praise God and know their prayers were answered. If it goes wrong you shoulder all the blame, if you do your job well their god gets all the credit, not even your god, their god. That attitude needs to be challenged. If you want a miracle cure sit at home and pray for it and don't bother the medical profession. Prayers don't cure people in hospitals for the same reason eating peanuts on bar stools doesn't make people drunk and bikinis don't cause sunburn.
