Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. While I personally have aversions to all religions I've known about, I can't justify eliminating all of them on the basis of my belief system. If religion is the opiate of the masses, then there's a reason for the addiction. Faith inspires many people simply to get through the day, and if there is any positive effect, outlawing religion won't change the nature of belief.
Religion has a history of justifying atrocities.
Even today it justifies bigotry. When I said it needs a leash on it that is where I think it needs to not interfere with laws, science or politics for that matter. Businesses such as TrinityBroadcastNetwork should be treated as a business and profits taxed just like any other business. Faith can be good if it helps people, but when it hinders others the line definately needs to be drawn and outlawed. I believe freedom of religion should also mean freedom FROM religion.
