I would never make religion illegal because of the importance of free choice but there are many young people who are indoctrinated into religion by their culture and parents. I feel that every child should go to a school that teaches awareness of all religion but more importantly gives a full grounding of science including evolution, the formation of the universe and the cruel laws of nature to counteract the ridiculous stories they may be presented in their own culture. Once a child is indoctrinated in any one biased direction it's dangerous be it religion, racism, sexism, animal cruelty etc. We need to give children a solid mental foundation but never deny them all views. However it has to be said religion is very dangerous because it does effectively work like a disease, once you have it you want to spread to more people. I'm an atheist but there is nothing really good about being one. It's just a horrible reality that you live and you die and that is the end of you completely. It's a tough sale. However non-acceptance is basically accepting fantasy as reality and in that mental state you are capable of anything almost. It's corruption and bias. I'm only an atheist because the facts dictate it. I certainly don't want to be atheist.
