Religion is under attack is something that religious people like to say so that they can remain the dominant majority while paradoxically also playing the victim card. Barring a major political coup, there would be no way to make religion illegal.

As for whether or not it should be practiced, some people need their security blanket to sleep at night, so let them have it as long as clear boundaries are maintained between the church and state. The problem is these boundaries are not often maintained. See the Mormon Church's involvement in prop 8 for instance.
