no because that is segregating against religous ppl. Non religous ppl complain about their rights being affected by religous influences, so why on earth would it be ok to turn around and segregate religous ppl. That is like me saying I don't like to watch ppl drink pop, so I think we should ban pop from all public areas, and they can only drink it in their homes from now on. What on earth would give me the right to tell them where to enjoy their pop? What on earth would give anyone the right to tell me that I can't mention the most important part of my life, my faith, outside of my home?

I find it ironic that you would think religion should be banned. Did you know that the Bible is the basis for our criminal laws in this country?
The ban of religion would be one step closer to banning your right to bash it along with all the other freedoms you have.
As a Bible believer I know and would defend your right to make your comments, even though I may not agree with them. I do this because I know if you don't have that right... then I don't have the right to share my beliefs.
Perhaps you might want to rethink your position. Would you want to confine your comments strictly inside your home?
To the responder who said children should not be taught religion by their parents...... Are you teaching your children your values? You are if you see them at all. Children learn from example.

Funny question in that the Constitution of our country was built solidly on religious (Christian) beliefs. When the phrase "separation of church and state" was originally written by Thomas Jefferson he was trying to prevent government from having control over religion. It is only in the last 20 to 30 years that people have begun to try and ignore this truth and ban religion (specifically the Christian faith) from public life so that people feel better about pursuing unrighteous pursuits in life.

actual no longer. even if disagreements I even have with some religions, I treasure the U. S. shape. Freedom of religion is a corner stone of that checklist. If the government have been to prohibit faith then they might besides get rid of the form from its shielding case interior the documents, take it out into the line and burn it. it could have lost any which potential.

If you wish to ensure that religions of all sorts flourish and grow, albeit undercover or in disguise, then, by all means, ban it. Banning a book is some of the best publicity authors and publishers can get, so I imagine it applies to religion as well. There is nothing that so tempts us to engage in behavior we would not otherwise engage in as forbidding it. Just look at Adam and Eve!

Of course not. People should have the right to peaceably assemble, IMHO and in the opinion of the U.S. forefathers. What constitutes religion in your mind? What about the mind of others? Many people and things are worshipped. Are fan clubs immune from your ban? Followers of any particular philosopher? People who share any particular worldview and meet to discuss it and speak of its worth? Will we be allowed to continue to have statues, memoriams, etc. honoring our nation's history? Do these not also become sacred objects of awe with ideas expressed about universal truths?

No, they shouldn't. I'm an atheist, but I believe very strongly in freedom of religion. To that effect, it should be taken out of schools and parents shouldn't teach religion to their children, as this prevents them from making an objective decision later in life.

The Founding Fathers clearly stated their intent that government have no part in the promoting of religion, and that includes promoting one view of the expression of religion over another.

Freedom to assemble, establishment clause, freedom of speech. You're running up against a huge number of constitutional rights. I'm for more personal rights, not fewer.

Even I would not want to see that. Even though I personally would not have a problem with it, I would not want to see anyone's freedoms taken away.
By the same token, I'm deathly afraid of what this country is becoming... which is the exact opposite... a theocracy.
