Atheists: Would you support a law forbidding religion?

No. Never.

I would fight against it.

I want a free country on all accounts. I would hope any christian would fight for my rights as much as I would theirs.

Definately not.

Censorship is not the solution to a problem. People need to find the light for themselves, you can't force anything on someone, otherwise its not a true belief is it? That was the point of A Clockwork Orange. How can you judge a triangle when your only seeing 2 sides of it?

Give them all the information you can, I personally know that progressive minds will choose to abandon the idea of religion once they can make a rational, humane decision based on fact from a non-biased viewpoint

I say no to law forbidding anything. Knowledge is power, and negative sources like reading the Bible just reinforces my theories that make me hate religion in the first place.

Its like watching the O'Reilly Factor not because you agree with Billo, but because he helps show you how stupid he can be, and gives you even more reasons why to hate him.

Absolutely not. It is not the belief in any particular religion that is bad. The problems arise only when those who believe feel so strongly, that they try to destroy the beliefs of others. A law forbidding religion would be just as bad as the worst acts of the most insane religious nut-jobs.

Just going through open R&S questions and found this interesting.

No, I would never support anything which represses someone's right to believe as they see fit (keeping in mind that your rights end where the rights of others begin).

In fact, many Christians would probably be surprised to see that most atheists would stand with them should they ever be really persecuted in the nations we live in (and here I can't help but note that "persecution" is not the same as "not getting your way" which some Christians don't seem to get).

Maybe not forbidding it, but dictating the 'hows' of it. History will be repeated and this great country will go against its own constitution. We will see a particular society, enforcing its beliefs on all and the government will give its support. In the future yet, according to scriptures.

Absolutely not. It's not a criminal justice issue, it's an education issue.

I would support a law prohibiting the teaching of demonstrably false religious beliefs as facts in schools, regardless of the level of government funding those schools receive.

In the United States, government is forbidden by the First Amendment of the Constitution from restricting a person's speech. It's called Freedom of Speech, and people can say their opinions or beliefs.

Let's be realistic. A lot of people cannot function in this world without the religion that they were brought up with... so TOTAL SEPARATION of Church and State is very realistic... Christians still want to impose their whimsical belief on the rest of the population and this is WRONG...!!!

I don't believe in "thought crimes". People should be able to, and will anyway, believe what they want. I wouldn't support anything that was against the 1st Amendment.

Religion becomes a problem when it attempts to legislate based on beliefs.

Of course not

Unlike religious people I dont feel the need to restrict the rights of others because their beliefs dont match mine.

Also there is the Constitution, and I am all for that.

No. Well. Maybe organized... but only so that it wouldn't interfere with the government. If there is a clear separation of church and state, then I'm happy. Why bother others?
