I thought the original post was pretty funny, but seriously, there are some really naive opinions flying around this thread...
You folks dont want people practising their religion in public, but then can't we all come up with a bunch of shit we hate to see people doing or advertising in public? Why target religion? I'm sick to death of listening to people flick through their ipod on a train and having to listen to their shite music, or the dick head who comes out of a pub singing his favourite football chant or that silly cow out the back of the bus who wants everyone to hear her stupid fucking conversation. There are millions of people across the world who act out and do shit in public that bugs people or make a point of advertising their way of life. Who gives a fuck if a bunch of nuns wanna sing Kumbaya in public or someone wants to say a prayer before they eat their big mac?
As for 'religion' not being taught in schools and such, I think you really need to define that opinion alot better. Religious texts are some of the best wisdom literature avaliable, it would be retarded to remove religion from education. I'll asume you are just saying you don't like the idea of teaching creationism as a science or the indoctrination of our youth through religion.
As for religion being harmful, come the fuck on, we aren't all 14 year old angry children here are we? 'Religion causes war, blah-blah'. For every one man killed in the name of religion you will find one man who will claim his life has been saved by his religion. That's ignoring the millions raised through religion for worthy causes across the globe. People kill people, sometimes in the name of religion... Are you honestly gonna let yourself believe that if you get rid of religion the world will be a safer place and we are all gonna join hands and sing 'We are the world'?
