1. Education and logic work wonders against superstition and fables.

However, that only works with people able to understand the evidence and who are curious enough to continue learning. Sadly, many believers refuse to listen to anything but what is familiar and comfortable to them. They reject being educated, because it frightens them to think that what they have believed might be wrong. So, they shut anything else out.

Our hope is with the young, who don't have fixed ideas already beaten into their brains. They can learn, and we can teach them.
