The idea of completely and totally banning religion is a fairy tale in itself. You can’t expect religious people to suddenly give up their faith because people in power say they have to. They’ll face incarceration or even take a bullet to the head before they’ll renounce their beliefs, myself included. They’ll even start underground churches. You may call me a “zealot” for that but whatever. I’m not hurting anyone with my religion, so why should I give it up? And you really want to punish the peaceful Buddhists and Hindus for not giving up their religion? Or even the Jewish community?

And my point with the alcohol comparison was that if you’re bent on making the world a better place, then you have to get rid of all the things that cause violence and even death, including alcohol. If you don’t, then you’re just a hypocrite, and authoritarians usually are.
