    That would be shortsighted. Religious though has been on the decline for centuries. Driving it underground and radicalizing it just empowers the bad actors.

    Germany handles religion in a fine way. Kirchensteuer is a tax you pay directly out of your paycheck to your registered church. You can opt out of paying this tax by dropping your church registration. If this system was adopted in the US you would see far less people who identify as “religious”.
