religions are the consoles and the religious the fanboys, we arent all that different tbh.

It sounds to me like Believing in something would be illegal, I mean sorry but you can't cease someone from thinking.

Is that even a serious question?...

It would be better if it did happen but no it'll never happen.

I predict that as time passes, fundamentalists will cover an increasing proportion of their respective religion (which in turn will speed up this development). This will eventually cause religion to be frowned upon by the masses, who will look at religious individuals similarly to how they look at people who claim to be psychic today.

Will believing in your religion become illegal though? No. Thoughts can't be made illegal. But when it comes to practicing your faith I'm certain that new laws will arise, starting with making circumcision illegal unless chosen by the person in question as an adult, or if it is required for medical reasons. At some point there will also come laws preventing Mosques from separating male and female visitors, and laws preventing Churches and the likes from disallowing female priests and gay weddings. (And yes, we have already seen this development happen in some places.)


Religion may never become illegal, but laws won't encourage it.

Nope, and thank god for that, coming from an atheist :).

Isn't atheism severely stigmatised in the US?

This can't be a serious question.

Badumtisch

Are you serious?
I thought freedom of belief should be something that's extremely basic these days.
If you're someone who supports this idea for whatever reason, imagine your own belief in it's place, you wouldn't like that, wouldn't you?

I sense some irony :P
