Separation of church and state. In theory it's enshrined in the US Constitution. In practice it should be the enforced law of the land everywhere. The only way to respect all beliefs is to leave belief out of government.

All laws in the world are based on the 10 commandments of Moses...of christian law ..with amendments for suitableness for change for the original changes...hence the need for lawyers who can make them up to suit you and your particular needs...x

Educate people and that will lead to less religious adherents.

At its best, religion should be as powerful as an earnest suggestion.

Okay.

Tax the churches, no matter what.

I voted Other because even though I believe religion has no place in government we should not tolerate it. We should tolerate people up until the point where they want to force their beliefs on others. I respect the right to believe but that doesn't mean I respect the beliefs.

People can hold whatever delusions they please. They just need to keep that bullshit to themselves. I don't want it forced on me or anyone else, or to have any influence over my life, or anyone else's who isn't interested. It has no place in government. None.

Sadly, America has swung back to where we need a remake of Elmer Gantry and another Scopes monkey trial. Along with a good dose of actual history for the South.

It has been my opinion for a long time that religion is the cause of every major conflict in the world today.

I have no problem with people who keep their religion FOR themselves! I want the same freedom!

I have no problem with people believing whatever they want to but when the government want to make laws based on religious beliefs then I get angry. That's unconstitutional and it's a horrible mistake.
