If you could make religion illegal

[paulpablo]

The people/agents of the government of the United States aren't always successfully and fully held accountable for dangerous, violent actions.

While that's absolutely true, this is a case of a failure of enforcement, whereas in the case of organized religions, it;s not that we try to enforce x and fail..we are giving them an exemption.    

So saying we hold the government accountable means nothing.

There's a million ways to prey on the geriatric people for money legally without religion.

However, the -same- scam run by two different people..one a prosperity preacher at a tithing church, and the other a common con is only illegal for the common con.  Not only is it legal for the prosperity preacher..-his- con is legally protected. This is what I'm commenting on.  Now, we let that one slide, but..like I've been enjoying in thread..somewhere between that and throwing virgins into volcanos there's a line.

Its just one tool of many.

Sure.

I know nothing of tax laws concerning religions.
I'm just talking about violent groups. Violent religious groups, for the most part and as far as I'm aware, will be held accountable for their actions. And in a lot of cases more so than government agents working for the government which you say is an example of a secular organization.

Also I would add that the government, the secular organization, isn't being taxed. It's the organization doing the taxing. Which again makes it comparable to a religious organization.

Whichever way you look at it I personally see secular organizations being comparable to religious ones in terms of organization, violence, danger and accountability. Depending on the circumstances.
