As long as they are peaceful--I agree with this. But, they are NOT peaceful.
Right now in the US, the Christians have demolished the federal right to an abortion, but the dems are fighting back. Maybe the ship can be righted this next election.
Witch hunts and burning at the stake is not peaceful. Crashing jet planes into skycrapers is not peaceful. Denying climate change and doing things at the societal level to support the fossil fuel industry is not peaceful. The antivax movement is basically a religious movement, and it hinders or outright stops the scientific solution process to the epidemic, which is not peaceful.
The world has major problems, and religion gets in the way of solving these problems. This is why it has to go, and it very much looks like it will not just peacefully go away.
