I don't think it should be outlawed because there are many things associated with religion that are commendable. However it should be remembered that it was not so long ago that they burnt people like me for merely disagreeing with them and this is still happening today in some parts of the world. Yes I know they don't burn them but I don't think there are many Muslims who would dare stand in the main square in their capital city and denounce their god.
Religion is based on faith and I think common sense and proven knowledge, is a better basis for dealing with politics and science.

Should it be outlawed? religions influence on politics and science and the politics and science influence on religions. Should neither one influence the other might be the question .What harm has been done that you would ask for an outlaw of the relationships? Do you know what happens when relationships are severed?. they create a suicidal tendency , is this the true reason for the desire to outlaw, personally I ponder the underlying motive in your statement.

No... I think a nation organically evolves its own form of government (which may or may not show strong religious influences) depending on its history and its people. So you have a range of governments ranging from Saudi Arabia to China.
Religious influence doesn't have to and can't really be outlawed. Although manifestations of religion in public spheres can be, depending on the wishes of particular societies...

I think that that is just rediculous. Religion is a terrible thing, and should be spoken out against, but to legislate what we think is right and force that on other people is wrong. If we are really right we should be able to convince them through argument to change. I know that religious people often do not repsond well to logic or reason, but forcing our beliefs on them is not the right way to go. We just have to keep using logic and reason to make decisions, and hopefully the rest of the country will follow.

Everyone is guided by their personal beliefs, religious or otherwise. There is nothing wrong with that. The line has to be drawn, however, at the point that religious leaders have direct control of the government. At that point, the government only represents members of that religion rather than the country's citizens as a whole.

Yes, providing political and scientific influence on religion is also outlawed. Then we will have a really nice sterile situation.

No. Just Jews, Christians, Muslims, Scientologists, Mormons, and Christian Scientists.
Everyone else has a lot to offer.

Not at all. People of faith, as well as religious organizations, have just as much a right to free speech (and participation in public affairs) as everyone else.
