The only way to defeat superstition is a well educated population, when the only use for religion is ritual, it's pretty harmless.
Yes, I agree that people need to be educated well, to understand the religion topics, need intellectual deep thoughts. There is a lot of lesson to be learned from the creation of the Whole Universe, such as how the planets are standing without any support and they look like as a round ball which floats in the air.
