I would stop their tax exempt status and any other unfair favouritism, but that's all.
Once again, Rob chimes in and steals the words right from my mouth... erm... fingers?
I agree completely. I would not attack any churches or religious organizations violently because then I'm no better than the Christians themselves.
But I would certainly enforce a strict separation of church and state and would absolutely force all churches to pay their fair share in taxes. If your church cannot support itself financially it should not be allowed to stay.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
