You can turn one legal thing, illegal, what will you choose?

Organised religion, everyone can have beliefs and follow them. But they must be their own. They cannot follow any theistic premise devised by someone else.

When people can blame their actions on a manuscript of rules written by someone else it deminishes their sense of morality as they seek answer from an external source. The judgement of action should come from within, not by adhering to a rulebook ill equiped for modern times.

It not saying religion is inherently bad, im saying as soon as you add humans to a religion it becomes bad. Even if a religion preaches only tolerance to everyone in every capacity an individual it will still take the individuals strength to find compassion, not a rulebook.

I beleieve that humanity can never live in peace until we are allowed to dismantle organised religion in favor of preaching we are all brothers and sisters. That should be enough,

I expect this either to get no responce or a negitive response. In light of that, making organised religion illigal would never persecute people pracising religion. If caught they would have to attend a course of education on science, world history and philosophy. They would be released and free to continue until caught again. Eventually I believe people would see the light. See the damage thats been done time and time again from following religions. Even if some good has come from them mainly bad has. And eventually everyone may see that all you need is one another and your own human spirit. No-one is born evil and no-one is beyond reprieve. The problems only arise when we like to the heavens for the answers and not ourselves. Humanity need to stop waiting for intervention and start working together. Ultimately this is humanitys only potential extinctinction level event that it could control/ completely avoid.

Tldr: organised religon because it have caused so many problems. Just to be clear, I dont mean to outlaw the belief in god, a higher power or right to wear anything you like because you think it makes an imaginery person happy.
