Yes, governments should ban religion

Nice job taking it to another extreme. You can't solve extremes with other extremes.

OT: I would say partially. The other reason is because government works slowly. And the US' government works even slower.

Well, the USA purposely ended the connection between government and religion on July 4, 1776.  It's a rather big important day in the state.

Since then, until relatively recently, it has strongly made clear that religion has no place in government.  Some religious people have tired to put it in - like on our money and our pledge to the flag.  But they have been well organized in their attempts to make the USA a theocracy.

In the USA one is free to practice or not practice religion, but it is one of its core values that religious has no roll or place in government.
