THIS!
I am sick of the Hitler fallacy.
Religion should never be banned. Ever.
I don't care what you think of Christianity, people are free to believe whatever they want and you have no right to legislate thoughts and demand they keep their beliefs hidden. I believe religion should not enjoy a special status, so yes, I can criticize Christianity all I want. But I would never ever support anything that would attempt to ban a religious faith.
I also do not think nazism should be banned. In Austria you can be put to jail for being a Holocaust denier. That is wrong. You cannot jail people for being idiots. Ridicule them all you want, but do not imprison people for stupidity. It's disgusting. This is why I do not support any type of legislating hate crimes. We are free to our thoughts, as hateful and offensive as they are to other people.
It angers me when atheists suggest things like this. To me, you're no better than the religion you claim is dangerous by trying to outlaw it.
