The Pitch: Banning All Religion

[Inchante]

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.

I just wonder when you say "educating about its contradictions, flaws, etc." do you mean only these things? There are also many benefits/wisdoms in individual parables and laws/commandments, consistencies within and between religions, etc. Some would likely construe only teaching the negative aspects of religion as bias if not complete propaganda. And some would view teaching anything about any religion or all religions as unconstitutional, at least in public institutions.
