Your argument was deleted because it preached hate speech. You should have learned in history class that Germany's persecution of the Jews led their to the inhumane treatment. They were murdered in concentration camps or forced to work in labor camps and given barely anything to eat. Their muscles were atrophied to the point they had none. They were bones covered in skin. Such inhumane treatment should have made you realize that persecuting people for their thoughts is not acceptable.
As an Atheist I support religious freedom, not because I think believing in fairy tales is a good thing. I support it because it also means that free thought is not against the law. Free thought is absolutely necessary in society. Did you know that Galileo Galilee was persecuted by the inquisitions for beliefs that went against the Churches teachings? He did not believe that the Earth was the center of the Universe because he had seen the moons of Jupiter orbiting the planet. He was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.
Science is a logical and rational way to understand the natural phenomena in the universe and for this reason, it will become increasingly important in our lifetime and the lifetimes of future generations. The government does not need to make laws outlawing religion because in the increasingly global multicultural scientific world religion becomes obsolete just as Greek mythology has. I do believe that religious institutions need to be taxed, however. These tax evading institutions are leeching off of society. Yes, they do humanitarian efforts, but mainly in an attempt to convert more faithfuls. |

you obviously didn't read the rest of the post
spiteless said it was an exaggeration saying they needed to be executed and it would be illegal for parents that are FORCING their child to believe something
that's different from a parent saying what they believe and allowing the child to believe what they want |

| Well my parents used to make me go to Church. I do not believe it merits any punishment. They did it out of good intentions. It doesn't really matter anyways. The Church is facing a crisis today. They are losing so many faithfuls. That is why the pope is trying to reinvent the image of the Church. |

I agree, for the most part. As a Christian I think that freedom of religion is very important in society. Taking away that freedom is oppressive.
Since I might get replies regarding my siggy, I chose this siggy as a quote from a TV show I like. There. Happy?
Respect the science! |

| I don't care that they are trying to convert people through humanitarian efforts. I am concerned that the Church does not pay its fair share of taxes. |

@Zul
Because satanists are less involved in all this, and being independent means you don't have any side in politics

"Science is a logical and rational way to understand the natural phenomena in the universe and for this reason"
Nope that's anthropocentric
"it will become increasingly important in our lifetime and the lifetimes of future generations." no it won't no one cares about science only in school people care about science
"increasingly global multicultural scientific world" did you just put random words together that makes no sense
"religion becomes obsolete just as Greek mythology has." nope
"I do believe that religious institutions need to be taxed, however. These tax evading institutions are leeching off of society." Then you believe all not-for-profit organizations such as charities should be taxed |
