Oppose behaviors and actions. Religion is messy. There are so many different interpretations with differences of denomination and sect. Don't oppose religion. Oppose the concrete human actions and the people that support and promote those actions. If those people are religious leaders, so be it.
Don't oppose superstitions that breed bad behavior? Why not?
Because you are shooting yourself in the foot if you want to establish a pluralist and tolerant society.
If we're talking ideals, I'd love to live in a society that isn't pluralistic when it comes to religion. It's all based in nonsense.
Ideally the populace is educated enough to not be religious. Because, as I'm sure you know, religiosity decreases as education increases.
We should definitely dump money in education, for many reasons.
Religion can be a weapon used by those in power to suppress the people or parts thereof (like women).
