When things are good, it is easy for most to be secular. When things are bad, people will want a reason or meaning for it all. Doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong or totally irrelevant. They want a meaning. Something religion is happy to supply them with.

I actually agree with everything in this post. You've made my point for me. When things are good.... So let's devote a portion of our efforts towards helping things to be good for these people. Then religion will have less sway, and the manipulation of people towards hatred of the other will diminish. A win-win.
