If you could make religion illegal

Nope. You can't make stupidity illegal. Making ideas illegal, no matter how stupid, is offensive.

Ummmmm we don't think like religions do.

Right. I want people to stop wanting religion. Because they don't need it and at its worst it can be harmful. It's often benign but certainly not always and people don't need it. So I want them to stop wanting it. That's completely different to wanting them to stop practicing it even when they want to. I'm really not into forcing people...

Nah. I prefer those able to break the shackles of religion, to do so on their own.
No but I'd strip their tax exemption and let that scam die a natural death.

I never have understood that one. They do insist that they're offering very real™ goods and services...don't they? Well, if that's true, then it's taxable. They should have to jump through the same hoops, at least, as other providers (like myself) if they want to reduce their effective rate to zero.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
We could let Darwin help a bit here by our just carefully selecting babies to eat from the most pious and strict Christians we can find.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
There's supposed to be seperation, hence the tax exemption, except a lot of evangelists like to get their hands deep into politics. I'd be all for removing tax exemption for any church that has any connection with politics. That seems fair.

No matter how you slice it, it still amounts to a government subsidy of religion.
Of course not, don't be ridiculous.
Besides, even if someone were to entertain the idea, it's impossible. You can't make peoples' thoughts and beliefs illegal. It's just literally impossible.
