Only on current laws. In the hypothetical scenario this thread propose the laws would change and it wouldn't be illegal anymore.

Current laws? It's in the damn consititution. Freedom of belief is a basic human right guranteed by nearly every civilized nation.

 

If that's changed to hunt down religious people, it's not a matter about them anymore. We'd be living literally in George Orwell's 1984 and the situation would be bad for everybody.

I'm not American so not familiar with all their laws. But if it is just freedom of belief then hypothetically could religion still be allowed but organised religion be banned? That could easily escalate to hunting all religious people.

Don't know if someone answered this since I don't really want to read the whole topic but no, you can't ban organised religion because that would infringe on the Freedom of Association. A core belief in the US Bill of Rights and many human rights charters.

If a government managed to ban a certain group, it would be a slippery slope as their is a precedent for the government to control who their citizens associate with.
