Will Religion ever be illegal in America?

that would set a very dangerous precedent indeed. a slippery slope resulting in thought crime. that is not a world in which I desire to live.

that being said, in the absence of objective evidence for god, the belief is delusional. existence cannot be confirmed any other way. philosophers have tried and failed repeatedly to establish existence through a purely a priori basis.

"In the absence of compelling objective evidence for God's existence, therefore, religious belief is, alethically speaking, pathological and, by two-factor standards, delusional." - Dr. Ryan McKay, "Hallucinating God? The Cognitive Neuropyschiatry of Religious Belief and Experience"

before I get some incredibly asinine reply like "well you can't disprove it either", I recommend you look up the argumentum ad ignorantium fallacy since you're essentially saying "it's okay to believe until proven otherwise" which is backwards, fallacious thinking. then pursue a study in epistemology and learn what separates an opinion from a justified belief.

Religion isn't factual, nor reasonable. People beleive what they want. 

As for this:

"well you can't disprove it either", I recommend you look up the argumentum ad ignorantium fallacy since you're essentially saying "it's okay to believe until proven otherwise" which is backwards, fallacious thinking. 

That is simply an assumption. That assertion means that it cannot be proven and thus is irrelevant in discussion of rationality not justification for the belief itself.

A set of irrational beliefs does not conflict with a rational mind.

Edit: Its a pointless endeavor to try and blame irrationality on Religion, irrationality is a part of Human Nature, as a construct of Humanity, Religion, which is not formed via the scientific method, would be no exception. Especially, when some in this thread are blaming Religion for the very things that it bans against in the various religions of the world, a delightful ironic display of ignorance.
