I'd start and run my own. Many people seem to need irrational beliefs - so we might as well regulate and direct them to useful pursuits.

Nope, though I think we should keep religion out of the legal policies instead of using it as an excuse to keep things like gay marriage illegal.

Oh yes, because it was the Atheists in America accusing people of being a commie if they didn't go to church.

Makes sense to me.

Ban it? No. Completely remove it from anything remotely related to the government? Oh yes.

False.

Just check the constitution. Separation of church and state.
