Russia Bans The Quran

It's not ideal, no. I think the key to solving the issue lies with bettering education. I don't disagree though that Sharia law definitely infringes on civil liberties; hopefully the ban is only temporary.

the only way to destroy religion is to make an law that forbids the parents to stick their religion into their children's young naive brains and let them decide what the fuck they want to believe. Because if you were taught something by your family you will defend that idea and there is an very small chance you will change that idea (yes you can find some who abanded religion even if they were raised in an such environment) But this is likely never to happen

I think the way to destroy religion is to show disdain for their disgusting ideas and let them keep the benign ones. I think it's horrible that kids are born into religions. And then all of them told that if they leave they'll burn in hell. But you can't limit what a parent says to a child. You can only keep it out of schools and when you hear parents doing that tell them what you think of what they're doing. I have no qualms about telling a "religious child" I think his god isn't real. I think we have a lot of tolerance for this in society, not as in we allow them to, but as in we make it socially acceptable because it's a little awkward to discuss these things, many even facilitate and lie to kids as well so they don't get into trouble with the parents. Why? We discuss politics with people who don't agree with us all the time.

I think it's very hard to get numbers, especially for Islam, about how many actually stopped believing in the religion. But fundamentalists do get out of the religion, I personally am good friends with one. The problem is when they do so, others may not believe that they're really a nonmuslim now. They say no, once you're muslim you're forever a muslim. I don't think that helps matters, I'm not saying that's what you're saying, of course.
