I’ve always tried showing the people in my life of religious persuasion that atheism or secular humanism are not what the religious leaders and politicians attempt to paint them as.
I don’t feel the need to advocate outright, push my beliefs, or bash others beliefs because we are going in the right direction, and religion only gets older and more porous. Fight for the free transfer of information and religion will have fewer and fewer shadows to hide in.
But I’m an imperfect being and YECs make it so hard to resist. “Dino fossil ages are fake to sow doubt so that we can have free will,” is just so hard to not make fun of.
Or your gender is the one that benefits from religion more, and is slower to leave the safety of the shallow pool.
So what should we do?

Dunno.
On one hand, yeah. We shouldn’t mock anyone.

Good luck with that as fewer men are involved in education in any way
