That brings up an interesting question.... say perhaps the entire world was entirely religion "free"... would it be ethical to burn all remaining "religious" texts in order to prevent the evils of religions from returning to the world? To me, obviously the trade-off would be worth it... but I can definitely see the argument that the destruction of any knowledge, whether it be science or religion is a very dangerous game.
