Religion freedom doesn't need to exist because with the first amendment. Religious freedom is just a enabling
law to allow people to be shit heads enough said.
Yes all holy books are used as weapons, but what do you want, a perfect utopia? I agree with what you say, but unless y are going to become a monster yourself to get rid of religion, western law isn't just there to protect atheists, and there are 7 billion humans. Even if all 7 billion of us were suddenly atheists, we'd have divisions too.
I agree with criticizing religion even blaspheming religion, especially when it comes to bigotry, sexism, homopobia and religiously justified violence. Now I certainly think you don't want a one party state like North Korea where only one person is worshiped, nor do I think you want to use genocide.
So outside criticism and blasphemy, what do you suggest we do to make the world more civil?
