I don't think religion needs to be banned... just have it's protections taken away.

Not as if either one would necessarily stop terrorism though. I mean, in an ideal world if you banned islam then all the muslims would just be like "well I simply won't go to that country then" and thus you get no muslim terrorists there either. But it just wouldn't work like that...

Agreed, the power of belief is a strong one, and we need to be able to openly acknowledge that certainly beliefs are dangerous. They can't all be treated equally just because they're part of some religion or other, and religion is untouchable. It's important to criticize bad ideas and beliefs across the board, regardless of whether they're rooted in theism or otherwise.
