I remember when radon was a big scare in California. Mind you, few homes have basements there, so the radon was in the attics. Trying to convince people that radon was a natural phenomen was hard to do. Many wasted their money to protect themselves from a natural gas. My opinion was and is that radon can be dangerous, but not half as dangerous as driving a car. There are times when a home does in fact have too much radon, usually because of poor ventilation. If that's the case, it should be fixed -- not because of the radon but because of poor ventilation, which lets many gases build up. Like many risks, common sense should prevail.
