I'm not advocating the UN do it, but with religion behind so many of the worlds problems, it seems a logical next step. At some point, they're going to just say "F@ck all you crazy people spewing hate - enough already." I mean, aside from extremists, who really cares anymore anyway. Does ANYONE go to church?

I agree with you on the ends, in this case. Just not the means. People are born with some rights, whether God exists or not, including choice to worship. That makes banning religion a no-no IMO.

Pretty sure we agree that most churches/mosques/temples/etc do good work, even though RR made a great point about "decent people" of all stripes.
