Ban Religion - are you for or against it and why?
#20
RE: Ban Religion - are you for or against it and why?
There seems to me little point in banning particular religions, because if they break the law they will be punished anyway. If they don't break the law, but just do morally dubious things, either we make those morally dubious things illegal, or we accept them as the necessary result of a free society. Banning the religion as a whole is just illiberal.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
