    No religious beliefs should be banned as long as the practice of such does no harm to others. Even then, you can outlaw certain behaviors and actions without trashing an entire belief system. The US First Amendment is based on that principle.

    Religion promotes believing without evidence, abandoning the mind that we have been gifted with. It makes claims that it can't back up and makes no attempt to explain. It has and will continue to limit the progress of humanity. Religion is holding humanity back.

    Religion should not ban bcoz in my opinon, somehow they make us believe on God, if that exists or not but that's put faith in ourselves that at the end of something, god exists for us.
    And if religions bans then each person may be negative and that's took each person to a WAR... where every other person tries to make superior to him/her.

    No. People do horrible things in the name of bad religions. Not all religions are created equal. Only some religions are even a threat in the modern world. Of course there are radical groups, and one could say that they are inspired by religion, but I can also say that if they are willing to do illigal things because of religion, won't they also be religious illegally? What will a ban do?

      The reason why some people believes in Islam is because of it's monotheism. Christians believes in God the father, God the son (Jesus/Messiah) and the holy spirit. Jews believes in God the father and is still waiting on Messiah. Muslims believes in only one God, but don't believe Messiah have been here or would ever come.

    You are allowed to practice your religion as long as you don't impede the life of another human being in a negative way.
    So, there should be a uniform civil code and human rights for all. Any religious practice that goes against the same should, if you value life, logically be banned.

    If it basically amounts to hate speech or controlling and imposing on others from the way its structured then the world's better off without it

      I think that's a very profound statement. You're right, religion is Faith and faith is something that you believe in your heart without proof or evidence. It stands on its own inside of you and buildings in rules can't kill that inside of you. It's your belief they can lock you in prison but they can't take that from you. Make sure to see a movie called The Count of Monte Cristo if you've never seen it before.
