Banning religion outright would be an affront to personal choice and freedom, and I believe it is too strong a message and too forceful an approach. I believe that facilitating the process of religious education (that is, educating about its contradictions, flaws, etc.) would be a better goal. But it is not our place to decide for anyone else what to believe. The line should be drawn at giving people the tools to make an informed decision.
