Except it's the religions that fobid other religions, like Christians. Who do you think destroyed pagan temples in Europe as well as pagan books? Atheists?
And they have been doing it ever since to Jews, Incas, native Americans and many others including the non believers and on top of that many Christians want to go back to those times when you were killed for criticizing religion.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
