The faults you list are the faults of men not of belief. These are results of people using faith to manipulate for their own purpose, which is the failing of the individual not the religion. Any system of belief; be it religion, political ideology, philosophy, scientific theories, is vulnerable to these same manipulations. |
true, but im sure you will agree that religion has power and influence particular to itself when put alongside the other isms. it has a special place in society all its own. |

I certainly hope not...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. |

Yeah, but if you just define all religions as unethical businesses, then surely you can ban them.

For Canada's part...
Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982)
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
a) freedom of conscience and religion;
b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
d) freedom of association. |

| Either way, I see this as an affront to personal freedom, and it makes me wonder why a country like Germany would consider this a good idea. Laws like these are always a bad idea... |
