Religion is a relic of the past
it should be written in the constitutions of Europe
this is development and progress
do you agree

Organized religion sucks but people should still be allowed to have their own personalized religions, if they want to. Not that very many people ever reach that level of understanding, but it should still be an option.

religious people should not influence the lives of non-religious people

No, I don’t agree. Governments should not be in the business of banning religion. They should be in the business of ignoring it.

Me: "This guy over here is performing female genital mutilation in the name of his religion!"

Government: "Ignore it."

You do understand the difference between ignoring religion and prohibiting a harmful religious practice, right?

Be less stupid.

What are you going to do when we get three strikes? Take your ball and stomp off home?

No.  There are a lot of things which one may wish make into a mere relic from the past.   But to believe these could be consigned to the past by a mere decree, or a flurry of dictatorial actions,  bespeaks of a unwillingness to investigate and understand deeper causes and mechanism, a complacency with a single or a few view points, and a eagerness to resort to wishful thinking, that would make any religion proud.
