I don't think it should be illegal. It should just be laughed off and not be taking seriously.

Except for the parts where, in the name of religion, people are subjected to barbaric surgical procedures; "cures" for their sexual preferences; and pedophiles in positions of authority, among many other terrible things.

In the history of humankind, religion is responsible for more human suffering than all other causes combined.

Careful, son, you might cut yourself on all that edge.

Where do we draw the line what is or isn’t a religion? If you have definition, try applying it to Pastafarianism, Communism, Budhism and a bunch of other ideas and practices from Asia.

Personally, I prefer to go with a super simple and completely arbitrary list definition. If it’s on my secret list, it’s a religion. If not, it’s a philosophy.
