Actually 'fighting anti-science' folk may make mattres worse.
But improving broad scientific literacy seem to me as an effective means to prevent anti-science memes which might be exploited for political reasons.
Keeping creationism out of science classes takes a certain fight. That's a worthwhile fight and it's useful when some pro-science people fight it out.
The fight will angers some religious people but it's still worthwhile.
On the other hand the fight with external groups shouldn't take most of the resources. Keeping your own house in order is much more important than winning against other groups.
