Why?
People have right to his own beliefs and rituals, is part of human race and culture
This posture is a as intolerant as religious integrism.
Of course that making it illegal would not be an answer but it just comes first to mind because it's my strong belief that world would be better off without religions
If you don't think it's an answer, why is it here?
If you want religions to be banned, then go to one of those countries in which the people have no rights, and then tell me if you still want the government to control your life.
Not massive enough, or muscular enough.
This coment went to the wrong place! It should have gone to the Stephanie Plum potential actors for a movie about the Evanovich series!
As any sociologist will tell you, society depends on religion to keep order; without it, chaos will erupt. I agree that organized religion leaves much to be desired, but let's let it remain for the masses, and just choose not to be a part of it ourselves.

I'd <strong>love</strong> to see your source on THAT one-bit "fact".
I'd also love to see the source for that, and also any examples of societies without religion.
I don't think it is so much a fact as a theory. Wasn't it Marx that said "Religion is the opiate of the masses"?
This country was founded by people who wanted to get away from state mandated religion and create a place with freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion.
What's funny is that many of the ideas that this country was founded upon called for the freedom of people to practice their religion of choice without the persecution of the government.
Now flip a few hundred years later and we've got the government under attack by many of the most powerfull elements of organized religion and it fosters calls for legal remedy. I think that the Pat Robertsons and James Dobsons of the world would be well-served to watch what they ask for or they might find themselves in a time warp.
So you're suggesting that religious people who press their opinions on the government too strongly might actually create an environment where their religion is not allowed because they've been too vocal?
The TRUTH of the matter is...
As you should know, religion is purely a choice based on an individual's beliefs or born-in situations. With that being said, why make it illegal? Some people use religion as an organizational tool for their own morals, others for a barrier to keep them from giving into their own negative impulses. What's wrong with that?
I can't believe this answer made it this far up the list. There's not a solitary thing wrong with believing in a higher power, or something other than yourself. I'm a taoist myself, which has nothing to do with my answer until now. Exactly why I believe in the religion I do, because for a person to vote this answer onto the list takes a certain amount of negativity. Not to be mistaken with being a negative person, as in taoism the belief is yin and yang. Meaning a universal balance between the two energies (positive and negative). And I'm not one to judge, I leave that to God. I just think it's sad, that people would vote to make churches and religion illegal. When their sole purpose is to help guide people in a better direction, in whatever fashion the follower chooses (meaning choice of religion).
