What I'm having trouble with EP is this:
1) I am aware of terrible verses in the Bible/Quran/Talmud etc. Where, in democratic societies, are these tenets like the hypothetical "if your wife does this, you must kill her" being preached or adhered to? What I'm getting at is that you seem to be crying for the outlaw of things that either aren't happening or already illegal.
2) You are going back and forth between eradicating harmful beliefs and the holding of irrational beliefs.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
