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.
