You mean brainwash them. Then impose the tyranny of the majority upon the minority. 

Let me clear up some misconceptions that you seem to have:

Religion does not oppose Science, the Church was executing their political power through control of religion.

Science can only flourish in a system where there is freedom of belief.

Religion does not affect whether or not we progress as a species.

If you actually bothered to get informed you would know that in America currently the concern over the Economic Crisis is what has resulted in the downsize of Nasa and the closure of the space program, not Religion, if you want to know whats really stopping progress, why don't you ask why the military gets so much funds while Nasa is languisihing.

That's not really true. Religion itself doesn't have much if any negative impact, the extremists however do. This is evident many times throughout history and is still evident today. It is mostly religious people that oppose things like gay marriage is it not?

Extremists are neither representative nor exclusive to theism. It is a claim of ignorance and generalization to say that mostly religious people oppose gay marraige, because the term religious includes every single belief system on the planet had by a human being.

Blaming the entire religion of a people for the actions of the extremist is the same mentality that leads to genocides.

You blame the extermist's religion because its easy not because its right.

You can't generalize entire peoples because they share a couple of tenets in their belief system, making religion illegal even in organized form is persecution. Freedom of Assembly is also protected in the constitution.
