Should Governments regulate fraudulent religions?

[Angrboda]

Extending the definition of fraud to cover religious claims would appear to be one way that the government could deter religious confidence schemes. But I'm not suggesting it is a good idea. When it comes to religion, so long as the government doesn't sanction one over the others, I think it best to leave it alone. For most people, most of the time, religion doesn't really do much actual harm.

Wow. Quite the conclusion given 5,000 years of war thanks mostly to religion.

I guess that you have not noticed the homophobia and misogyny that is still rife in the world thanks again, mostly to religions.

I guess that you do not have any gays or women in your family. If you did, they would slap you silly as they have been discriminated against without a just cause by religions forever and are religions longest running victim.

And I have not even mentioned Inquisitions, Jihads and Holy wars.

I think you're getting off track here. The subject is fraud, not harm in general.
