Hi all.
I am exploring the idea of reducing the influence of religion on our society and am interested to find if any other militant athiests would like to help explore this with me. I don't have a plan as such at the moment, I am thinking more along the lines of what could be done and what could be achieved. I would very much appreciate your input and any support.
In my area for instance, the local shopping precinct is overun with religious people preching, singing and uttering offensive remarks about gays, women and of course all other religions other than their own. I would like to take things further than simply (as I do now) standing close by them pointing out the inconsitencies in their logic. Perhaps it's possible to come up with tactics to make life hard for them to spread their viewpoint?
I have considered leafletting churches and other places of worship, encouraging schools to drop daily acts of collective worship, researching the history of religous officials and publicising any "venal" acts they may have committed.
What do you think?

May God not be with you.
I think its a bloody brilliant idea, religion, if it has to exist at all, should be kept private and not forced down peoples throats. The other week mormons were in ipswich town centre trying to convert this carribean woman - naturally they forgot to tell her that they believe only white people can go to heaven.
The way they inflict their crap on children from such a young age is fucking appalling. We shouldn't tolerate it.
I'm up for contribution, just tell me more!
