Personal liberty is something we should uphold, them worshipping how they want (as long as it doesn't cause harm), in this case in a church, is an example of that.
So no, I don't believe churches should be banned.
Thank you for your reply.
May I argue against what you are saying?
Firstly, I think we both know as atheists that people who find that religion helps them or plays an important role in their life can find this elsewhere. We both know that it isn't the religion that is helping them as god doesn't exist. Truly what is helping them is other humans, and they can find that outside of a church. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Secondly, the most important part of what you said is 'as long as it doesn't cause harm'. How do you see that churches don't cause harm?
