I'm a Sunday school teacher and I try and spread reason, logic and tolerance. Unfortunately religion is full of people. People can be intolerant and cliquish and hatefull. It doesn't take religion to make someone that way, it's the way it was nurtured and taught. If you want to change religion it's probabl most effective to do it from within, with good intentions. If you want to abolish religion, it's best to do from outside. prohibition though is just another intolerance and banning anything seems historically to be counterproductive.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
