The first step should be to bring the organised religions within the law. 
I want to see:

Truth in advertising - any advertising claims to be backed up by facts, 
especially the more extremely unlikely claims.

A rewrite of the bible (I include all Holy Books here) - as it stands, it
contravenes the hate-speech laws of most countries, and the discrimination
laws. There's stuff there that you simply are not allowed to say.

More careful vetting of religious leaders, especially in regard to their
access to, and influence on, children. Biased religious education is child
abuse. The children should be taught the controversy, and then they can
decide for themselves.


You Americans need to organise yourselves to counter the increasing 
influence of the religious nutters amongst you, before they exert undue 
influence on your goverment systems.
