Agreed - and the most that government can do about it is to regulate alcohol/drugs/etc. to minimize the collateral damage (which they can do only for legal products) ... and, of course, to stop waging war against expressions of faith.
It’s a band-aid kind of solution and of itself, this is like putting band-aids on a creeping skin cancer. You know the result of the cancer, with no treatment, is going to be to kill you, band-aids or no.
Opening up a more permissive attitude towards faith (including getting away from overly squeamish interpretation of the establishment clause) would be of help, as would be the Romans 13 solution of lauding instances of beneficial faith. That is at the government level. But frank evangelism needs to happen at the private level.
