I tend to look at religion through a public health "harm reduction" lens. You're never going to get rid of it. The best you can do is work for a society in which different group affinities crosscut each other. A zoroastrian is less likely to engage in violence against a buddhist if they are on a chess team together. It's when the buddhists all move to one part of town and don't interact with the zoroastrians at all that we see religion become the driver of bloody conflict.
