Hi guys,
I've been thinking lately. As some of you might now I'm an Anti-Theist. This for several reasons I might explain if required.
But the original intent of this post is not to convince you to become an anti-Theist since I'm pretty sure people like cristopher hitchens will do a better job. However I think I got a few laws that would completely destroy religion.
1. Religious instruction is not to be taught in classes until a kid reaches the age of 16.
- This might look like a law contradicting freedom but it doesn't. You do not have the right to indoctrinate other people, to change their subconscious. If anything we are respecting freedom of thought.
- By this I mean that religion should not be represented as the truth or anything close to that. Instead it should be seen as part of our culture, with the necessary criticism.
2. Instead a class that has more to do with criticism and perhaps philosophy should be taught. (Really just take a class where you can fit in religion from a DECENT angle.)
- Basically people should have these classes were they learn to think for their own, learn some morals (for example : When you live, try to act in a way that you WANT to take responsibility for those actions or Shape the world by being a civilian of the world you want it to be) and learn to criticize stuff. Now basically what you do is use the Qur'an , the bible and other books and use them as examples of flawed logic. You let them know the books and you teach them what is wrong with them.
3. These 2 laws alone should really change the way people think. If we want to kill religion we need to cause a shift in the mindset of people, this is the only way. Whoever controls the individual, controls the world.
The problem : How do you convince people that these laws are for the better ?

NOTE : Sorry if any misunderstood me , I do *not* want to ban the books out of the school. I want to ban the classic religion classes. I don't want people to forget about religiowant people to evolve past it.
