I can think of a solution for many
problems in this country. However I cannot think of a solution for the
problem of religion.
I can think of several.
For example, currently priests cannot be compelled to divulge what happens
in the confessional.
I don't see how compelling priests to divulge their confidences will
solve the problem of religion.
Take that away.
For another, churches are exempt from a multitude of taxes - take that
away.
Again, I don't see how that is going to solve the problem of religion.
For another, churches enjoy government funding in a variety of ways - take
that away, too.
Same as above.
End public funding for them, tax them, and take away their immunity from
our
laws - that'll solve the bulk of the problem.
No, it will not. The problem of religion is that people are
superstitious. Unfortunately, until people become more enlightened and
less superstitious problem will exist.
Changing the tax laws would go a long way toward ending religious
organizations.
Perhaps, but would do nothing to eliminate religion.

True, but it would be a first step.

Well, I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening anytime soon. |

I don't expect it to, but one can hope.

In the case of the Evangelicals, "morality" means supporting The Party. |
