I do not waste time "tackling" religion, not for 50 ++ years now. WTH would i?

In regard to your question, I am also very agnostic about the small stuff.

I have used enough science to tackle the religion problem, that I call myself an atheist rather than an agnostic. Sure, it is possible that I have overlooked some evidence that could change my mind, but until it comes to my attention, I am an atheist.

I share your strategy to use science to tackle the issue. It makes sense to me but then again, I am not brainwashed. Religion is an easy out and permits the religious to ignore the problem. However, the religious use and depend on science more than they believe.

Not a day goes by that I don't encounter a problem where I "just do not know the answer" - so I put some effort into finding an answer or an appropriate, logical, and fact-based way of responding to it. The alternative is to take the religious path, which is to assert that I have the answer for everything, regardless of how badly it turns out most of the time and claim spirits are behind the bad results.

Religion; myth based. Science Fact based.

Myths; entertaining...satisfying ....good explanations of phenomena for the uneducated or naive. It worked for our ancestors.

Science; entertaining - satisfying - good explanations of phenomena for the learned, wise, smart. It works today.

Religion; We live forever.
Science; this is it; Life is short....a brief visit with reality. Dust to dust.

That's the reason Religion is still popular. It gives many an illusion of immortality.

I know; there's lots of logic to falling in to the #religulous myths.

Many good people do.

Don't hate them, Don't fear them.

Empathize. They're suffering a complex delusion based on tradition.

Don't feel badly for the coming end. Rejoice being alive while you can.

education, particularly science education is the way to get effective results.
