This morning I thought of a new idea for a law, the Home Religious Acts, I shall call it. It would respect people's freedom of religion, but absolutely kill off any control religion still has. It would allow religious worship, but only in one's own home. It would disallow parents from forcing their teenagers and children to convert to a religion or follow a religion's teachings of morality. It would eliminate the display of religion in public, I know, it may sound a bit extreme, but it may be the only way to ensure the continue stability and security of the United States. The government will of course respect other people's religious beliefs, but they would have to keep that to themselves, just as one would keep their own sexual deviance to themselves and not express it in public. What do you think of this proposal?

It's unconstitutional and rightly so.

...and I'm basically a socialist.

Obviously, it wouldn't.

Really, this is about suppressing and driving all religion underground with the ultimate purpose if extinguishing it altogether.

I would not, I'm an atheist and I have no problem with things like churches etc. What do you mean by the "display of religion in public" anyway? Won't let the Jews wear their hats? Won't let the Catholics wear their crosses?

I am one of the least religious persons on c-d, but still find your attempt to equate religion and sexual deviance to be highly offensive and inflammatory. Troll thread.
