I think what Min meant by a mistake - at least judging from the context and what I already know of his attitudes towards such belief systems - is that a freedom of religion opens the floodgates, if only potentially, for any nutball with an ego complex, a glib tongue and a taste for power. I've not heard of anyone seriously advocating forcing people into atheism, even if such things were possible, and certainly not "the government". What we do tend to get a lot of, however, is the elitist mantra of "if you're not with us, you're against us", most notably expressed by Bush Sr; all of which ignores the fact that in order to have freedom of religion in the first place, there has to be a counter-balancing freedom from religion.
Hi by the way.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
