Oh man, I was hoping you wouldn't make a thread about this.

People who believe in fairies and dragons aren't an official religion with millions of people and millions of dollars and millions of attorneys. A belief in fairies and dragons doesn't stretch back for millennia (they were always considered fictional), and it has no basis in any major or even minor nation. If you insulted dragons, that may be considered offensive to certain Asian cultures. However, a religion has to be organized for it to be viewed as a religion. When there is an organized religion with millions of followers of fairies and dragons, than maybe you'll have a point.

so, if i can create any religion just poof out of my head with any dogma, and if enough people like it, then i get all sorts of exemptions and privledges?

having an organisation behind a belief, dosent change the amount of evidence to support that belief...

Yeah, just look at Scientology. I really don't see what you're trying to get out of this.

Er, seperation of religion and state is pretty much key to the general effort in our government anyway.

ive already said, the end of all religon in politics, the end of any exemptions or privledges granted to religous people or organistations.

orly?

faith schools, gay adoption exemption?

SciFiBoy, you're missing the part in your sentence where you're supposed to have a topic.

Example:

"The big tree."

If it were correct, it would be:

"The big tree fell over, destroying the house and spreading leaves everywhere."

So what's your point?

there is no proof of religion, therefore, religon has no more rights or privledges than any other belief system

is that topical enough for you?

Yes, there is proof of religion. Look right now at the Vatican. Look at a nation formed solely on a religious basis. Look at the pilgrimage to Mecca. Look at the churches, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of religion all over the world. And if you mean that there's no evidence that these religious beliefs are real, who cares? You're making an issue out of absolutely nothing. Things like Democracy are just concepts too, should we not hold that to any higher importance than of an Oligarchy or Despotism? Currency is just a concept, so is our economy, our language, etc. They are all things we believe in.

You're not getting the point here, and it's frustrating me. If there's ever an organized religion for fairies and dragons with millions of followers and a set belief system/doctrine, maybe their opinions will be protected. Otherwise, stop being difficult and use a little logic.
