Regulating religion is a pretty bad idea. It would be like deeming atheists beliefs and practices illegal and punishable by law, even though atheism isn't a religion. Right now, it's impossible to force America to turn into a secular country overnight.
I do agree that many religions do a lot of harm that overshadows the good things that benefits society, and that they have quite some power, but regulation is not the answer. As a Catholic, I wouldn't want the state to subtlety force me to be atheist just because that's what's best for society. That would make them as bad as the religious extremists who try to blatantly impose their religion on others. A change like that should come from the person.
