The only way you can realistically and effectively carry out it's elimination is with total genocide. Otherwise it is just foolish talk.
    I wouldn't go as far as saying I want religion to be completely eliminated, I'm fine with it being something everyone chooses to do in their own homes, with no impact on the public as a whole. You want to pray to and worship some sky magic dude, go for it. My main problem is with religion as an institution, or more exactly the church. A bunch of corrupt fucks trying to brainwash poor people and push them towards the political party that supports them. At least that's the case in my country.

    Yes. That's exactly correct.

    Feel free to keep trying to backpeddle on your ignorance. No one'll notice.

    The best way to realistically and effectively get rid of religion would be to use science. It's slowly working. The more generations that die out the closer we'll be.

    I would tear down churches or turn them into something else, like libraries or schools, and ban institutionalized religion. Let them do whatever they want in their own houses.

    For some. And how you perceive something is working, depends on where you live. Meanwhile, millions are born and raised under a religion of some kind around the globe. Science is not accepted as a god for everyone. Just a good tool humans can use.

    I agree with you on that. Let those who want to believe, do so without persecution, unless they are directly harming others in clear and obvious ways. Like some terrorists of religions who want to kill those of a certain religious belief. See, we can have disagreements without insults.

    True. But generally speaking, if you mention you are religious, people will think you worship a god.

    Exactly what I was going to say... if the painting had been "offensive" to Muslims or blacks I bet the post would be "why isn't this barbarian getting prison for life and why did it take so long to catch them!?"

    You are clearly demonstrating that one of the things they didn't teach in the school you complain about is reading comprehension... or, if they did you didnt' think it was worth learning.

    That's what I was trying to get him to admit. But that will not actually obliterate a religion. You'd have to wipe out almost everyone on Earth. Ideas, no matter how stupid, will remain well past the last human's death.

    Factually incorrect.

    Preferably through education. You know, just like how you get rid of other equally idiotic beliefs, like Flat Earthers and Anti-Vaxxers.

    It takes a while, but they need to be eradicated, just like those things.

    That might be true in Sweden. Or anyplace which is primarily Buddhist believers. But in a lot of parts of the world, it is not. But we are getting off topic and discussions about religion are prohibited on here. And would not surprise me if they shut this thread down.

    destroy utterly; wipe out.

    You can't obliterate an ideology.

    Flat earthers still exist. Anti-vaxxers still exist(and are causing problems RIGHT NOW with the measles outbreak)

    This is pretty dishonest. It's a philosophical question. Just like if you'd kill baby Hitler or not. She's not advocating for the obliteration of a people.
