Hi,
Let's just for the sake of argument go pass the issue of whether "religion is evil" or not and just assume that it is so for this thread. Based on that "assumption" then: What would the cure from religion be?
I mean people go there in weekly basis and get indoctrinated on how to view life the religious way. For this "service" they are payed in tax exempt forms (i.e., charity). Further they sometimes grow strong enough to influence enough people to achieve nation wide political goals at promoting themselves.
These goals may not match the goals of the government and may be in conflict with them (e.g., "religion in schools" demands which are non-constitutional). If more masses get influence in mandatory weekly religious "lectures" of dogma, they may get their ways!
So what is the cure from religion? How to stop this build up?
