So hi there! thought id join this forum for some friendly advice on a short university debate I have coming up, hopefully you can help me 
But first a bit about myself. My names Alex (who'd of thunk it) I'm 19 and in my second year of university at De Montfort uni in Leicester, UK. Studying Criminology and forensic science.
so yer, that's me. As for advice on my debate, I'm just looking for ideas on the best angle to tackle the topic that "all religion should be banned." This is only for a mock to build our presentational and debating skills but, being one of the few atheists I know on my course, in a massively culturally diverse area, it would be good to put together a strong argument for my case. I only have a meagre 3 minutes to do this, so one well informed point would be more than enough. I am taking a guess that whoever is on my debating team (they are randomly allocated) will be likely to have plenty on the death count put down to religious differences (crusades to modern day terrorism etc. ) so anything other than that would be very helpful i have a couple of weeks before this comes up, so plenty of time. I appreciate this thread is probably not the ideal place to post for this sort of advice, so I am more than happy to move it, if this proves to be the case. Anyway pleased to meet you all. I look forward to being part of the forum!
