Should we restrict available information for the sake of religion?

Question

Examples:
Evolution, literature (books like Harry Potter and others)

This is a general question. I am not trying to restrict anything.

Answer 1

The catholic church is considering, (if they havent already) going back to preaching in Latin. They want power over the uneducated like they did in the middle ages.

Answer 2

It depends on who "we" is -- if the church wants to tell its members not to read certain things or watch certain things -- that's a matter of private choice.

But the govt should absolutely not do so -- for the simple reason that it means the govt is siding with one religion against all the others -- and that kind of thing is supposed to be frowned upon -- I knew I read it in some old piece of parchment somewhere.

Answer 3

So, you'd have to show your religion ID to buy a restricted book? Because you're surely not suggesting that any religion should be able to restrict what non-adherents can and cannot read, are you? :-)

Answer 4

Obviously, we haven't for the sake of Christianity.

Muslims and Atheists succeed in getting information restricted tho. Is that the point of your question?

Answer 5

We already are.

The Bible is not acceptable in schools but Evolution (a belief system, ergo a Religion) is.

Global Warming (another "belief") is "preached" in spite of the facts to the contrary. Contrary views are not allowed.

Answer 6

How about we get rid of religion for the sake of humanity?

Answer 7

Who said so?? which religion do you mean??

Answer 8

no, if some people don't like it then we should be tolerant.

Answer 9

No, that's censorship. :-)
