It’s obvious that we are being successful with many people, I just don’t know how we get to a significant majority that leaves the religious fundamentalists to their own devises.

One way to potentially open some eyes would be to the fact that they are using their religion to deny civil rights would be to suggest a campaign that forbids remarriage of all divorced people who have not obtained an annulment from the Pope. That should be a sufficient wake up call if they thought it was possible to happen.
