I'm not asking you to apologize and you're perfectly welcome to voice your opinion. But the comparison is valid. You're leaning towards isolating, discriminating and eventually destroying an entire group of people because of the perceived threat they pose to you.
You didn't adress what I said earlier; banning religion would backfire severely. if the religious are dangerous now, they would be many times more dangerous if we were to openly and legally persecute them. It would start a WWIII.

As if they don't discriminate us all the time...

Yikes. *Tiptoes away from thread.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

and that's a reason to do it to them?
I'm telling you. What you're proposing would start a world war.
May be. Or may be not. But it still doesn't change the fact it's all about "us or them". Eventually they'll brainwash enough people to do the same to us.
And WW3 will start anyway. It's only a matter of time. Russians are eager to show the world their useless tech, so WW3 will start sooner or later.

You're right. WW3 is coming sooner or later, so we'd jolly well better get it over and done with, rather than working to avoid it at all cost to avoid the catastrophic consequences it would have on our species.[/sarcasm]

Not at all. I'm... - idk the word for that - someone who cares about nothing at all. Bombs may be falling around me and I wouldn't move unless I see a bomb headed straight for me. Or for my computer, for that matter.

And what cost is all cost? What price is it worth to avoid world war 3? Would you prefer peace or seeing the world under a global caliphate say? ( To be clear that is just one of many possible scenarios.)
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
