True.
Eradicating religion isn't an easy project, but it is easier than
changing human nature or one of the other hard to eradicate causes of
evil.
You formerly held that "religion is evil and should be eradicated."
You
now seem believe that religion is merely a cause of evil. Is that
progress, or are they about the same thing in your mind?
I suspect English is not your native language. Causing evil is evil.
The fact is, I think we will always have to contend with evil.
Learning
to live in a world that contains things that hurt us (gravity, storms,
poisonous plants, certain forms of religion, certain forms of atheism)
is one of the major purposes of life.
We should just put up with as there is nothing we can do? I'm more
optimistic than you.
