My boyfriend raised a rather interesting concept, in relation to alcohol, and I naturally formulated a correlation to religion since we were also discussing that as well.
After all, we are not attempting to ban alcohol just because people are irresponsible with how they drink. It raised a flag, and I am quite known as being a fundamentalist anti-theist. Should religion be banned because of those who mistreat it?
maybe, it depends where you live.
However, In 'Merica we have this thing called the bill of rights that would forbid such a ban.
