Edit: I've changed the title to the same thing as the actual question.

My personal view is that religion should get a reduced influence on politics. Imo don't mix fairy tales with real life.

Religion has never brought anything good to humanity: just wars, hatred, corruption, conflicts and a mass of brainwashed sheeps who are ruining my damn planet.
Rationality ftw!

i think banning is the wrong way. Making it harder for religion to have influence on politics by laws that more strongly segregate church and state would be highly appreciated though. So, i m voting for religious freedom, and no on banning.

I think it shouldn't be banned however it should be put into context.
Like, if it's being taught in schools and stuff, teachers should always remind the young students that there's no proof what so ever that these things had happened, that god may not exist, and simply that they shouldn't take it as granted.
That way the chances you'll get religious nut jobs when they'll grow up is reduced dramatically in my opinion.

That's like teaching kids about fairy tales and telling them, hey but don't take this too seriously.
I think we should teach our kids how to think critically and not to believe in some stupid fiction...

Have you seen "Road to the Multiverse" from Season 8 of Family Guy? The Renaissance art, my friend!
But still, I voted yes. Rationality ftw.

But kids will tend to believe whatever you'll tell them, especially if it involves 'magic' and stuff like that.
This is a complicated subject, since religion is still tremendously important in some countries, to many parents, hence making such a drastic change wouldn't pass nicely in most of the countries.

Hey, you changed it from does religion suck to should we ban it... :S
In that case no, I don't think we should ban it even though I really don't like religion.

Well that's your opinion, but for me it's the source of great evil and everyone who believes in 'god' is a sad person who needs some fictitious character as an excuse for their own flaws. The ppl who believe in god are sheeps who refuse to think.
And I think that ppl who believe in god are idiots.

There are so many religions in the world that you cannot reject them all just because bible doesn't make any sense.
If people want to believe let them if that makes them happy. It's a human right to believe in whatever we want. Banning religion goes against human rights in every way.
It's like banning a genre music because you like one and not the other. Let people listen to/believe what they want.

The fourth option doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the the choices...
1 and 2 are still amazing.

Newton, yes, most likely.
As for Einstein, he wasn't a christian, but rather - if anything - a pantheist.
It's not as if great expertise in one field does make you automatically right in all others. What you did there is called a logical fallacy, i.e. an "appeal to authority". |

No. Every person has the right to believe whatever they want. So long as it doesn't affect you, it's none of your fucking business.
