Whether alcohol is good or bad it shouldn't be banned. Whether Allah is real or not nobody should be forced to believe.

That’s a silly remark - no one can be ‘forced to believe’ anything. They can be cajoled into believing and they can be forced into acting as if they believe, but belief itself is voluntary.

You are right. My remark was silly (and technically incorrect). Your refinement to my remark was what I, of course, meant and your correction is superior to my initial remark. I didn't intend to write a falsehood. I stand corrected, and I thank you for that.
