If You Ruled Your Own Country, Would You Ban Religion?
#25
RE: If You Ruled Your Own Country, Would You Ban Religion?
A lot of interesting, well thought out responses. As far as the question: How would I ban religion? I would say, I know you couldnt't fully ban religion, but it was an exercise to get people to think and discuss ideas. I could have worded the question better. Perhaps something like, "What measures would you take to improve the religious situation in a country in, lets say, the U.S.?"

I would like to see churches allowed, especially for tax revenue, but I agree with those of you that said you wouldn't allow churches. I would say that we are an openly secular nation, if you don't like that, please don't come to this country. Religious people are welcome, but it is strictly to be kept in the home. We don't need god or religion in our government, schools, or on any other public property. You can put your baby jesus all over your house and yard and make an ass of yourself, but if you need it to be in a public park or in front of a court house, you can get the fuck out! There's plenty of other places you can do that in.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
