Best to ban all religious and political sentiments that have resulted in
killing. That should do it.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Let's ban 'em all. Any objections?

Freedom from religion is the censorship of pagan
religions (even though there is really nothing wrong
with them), accused cults, "destructive" faiths like
some fundimentalist Islam, and otherwise "barbaric"
religions. Some say that these religions do not lead
to anything constructive and just destroy things. I
don't believe in it, but we must acknowledge that many
do. Since this POV is held almost exclusively by
Fundimentalist Christians, I suggest that we use their
POV about what should be blocked. I'm just trying to
be realistic here; if we blocked [[christianity]],
that may be more NPOV, but not practical for the
dominant wetern world. Remember: this filter is only
optional. It is not forced on anyone.

Well, I'm not certain that I agree with your /definition/ of freedom FROM
religion, but I certainly like the way it sounds. I say we ban all
dangerous cults and barbaric religions. I also think that Christianity,
Islam, and Judaism (and any other monotheistic religions I can find...
maybe there's some Zoroastrianists out there) should be first to be banned.
This would, of course, be rapidly followed by all the polytheistic
religions. Next come the animists. Lastly, any "miscellaneus" religions
that don't fit any of the above schema should also be banned. Once those
are out of the way, I'm sure we will all be better off.
