If I were to control a new territory, eg. a colony on the Moon / Mars etc. I'd probably go with East India Co. style regulations;
Proselytizers would be banned as would cruel slaughter practices and child mutilation. Trading would be 7 days a week, creationism would be banned from science classes, there wouldn't be any tax breaks for religious groups, vaccinations would be compulsory, contraception and abortion would be available for those that wanted it.
Marriage would be a contract between those parties that wanted it regardless of gender.
So not an outright ban, if individuals wanted to follow it they would have that freedom but I wouldn't want it undermining society with its depravity and immorality.
