Well, no.

It is not the basic act of religion ltrying to ban what it does not like that is its worst excess. It is the how it determines what it ought to like and dislike that enables religion to do its longest lasting and deepest harm.

So while we could be just as bad as religion when we start banning their shit, we don't need to be as bad as religion even when we start banning their shit.
