As for your point, banning religion, or any system of beliefs for that matter, makes zero sense. Aside from violating the most basic human rights, it is also practically unfeasible: you cannot enforce the ban of beliefs, because you have no control over what people privately think.

So, while not a "ban", it's a severe restriction on the "practice" of some religions/cults...

I have no love of any religion but I respect the right of anyone who wants to follow one. Banning one just leads to underground cults … that CAN be dangerous when they feel "hated". Left alone I think religions of all sects will die out in the next century as knowledge overpowers myth. When I was in Europe they were turning some cathedrals into condo's. That, to me, is similar to turning swords into plowshares. "Religions cause us to hate those we would not normally hate." (Forgot who said that). But, Blaise Pascal said: "Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions." We see that every day with the middle east madness, with the televangelist ripoff of millions of believers, with earlier religious wars … that will never stop UNTIL the sects die out. I won't see it, but, good luck to those who MAY.
