Ummmmm we don't think like religions do.
Right. I want people to stop wanting religion. Because they don't need it and at its worst it can be harmful. It's often benign but certainly not always and people don't need it.
So I want them to stop wanting it.
That's completely different to wanting them to stop practicing it even when they want to. I'm really not into forcing people...
