I don't think the goal needs to be to get every last of them to knock it off. I'd be pretty content if their numbers were small enough that we could just live in a post-religious world were the occasional madman couldn't shake the delusion that some all-powerful guy was watching over him.
Both of those goals require we move in the same direction at an accelerated pace. I get your distinction, but I don't think we'll see a post-religious world this decade.
Since we can't get most of them to "knock it off", getting every last one of them is beyond our reach as well, but both goals would be progress.

"They're breeding faster than we can produce condoms for them to ignore."
That made me laugh.
