That's kind of the problem, though... I always state that I think religions shouldn't ever be banned but I also think that anyone attempting to do harm should be stopped...and I can't honestly think of anything good that organized, high-participant religions have ever done for the world in general. They do more harm than good, and sometimes I think that banning them entirely would prevent a lot of harm and strife coming to a lot of people.
Still, it would require interfering in the right to choose to do wrong...and I think people should be allowed to make the choice, albeit they must suffer the consequences for it. I think that government law should over-ride religious law, however; doesn't matter what your religion says, it only matters what you did in regards to the law of the land.
