1. Christians and every other kind of relgionist should be locked up in some prison where they can practice their beliefs but can't bother anyone.
Personally, I think an island or another planet is better.
2. They want legal action to be taken against missionaries across the world. Total destruction of religious aid efforts, like Christian Mission efforts in Africa to feed starving people. Now, I totally disagree with this whole equation that some African missions have been practicing: Bible+Love of Jesus=food. That's exploitation.
Look at it this way, would you agree that holding a piece of steak out to a hungry dog and make it do all sorts of tricks before giving it the steak helping or taking advantage of the dog?
People in third world countries are some of the most vulnerable people simply because a life time of poverty. I'd feel better if religious organizations just want to help without the intention of converting. If they're going to try to convert, at least wait till these people could fly on their own and know enough about the world. Educate them. Offer assistance. Don't hold out a piece of steak and then say if you convert now you'll have the steak.
Well that's all I have to say. Just wanted to justify myself in front of the recent crticism I've recieved. Note: I did not want to imply that secularism is a bad thing: just too much of it (in a public forum) is a bad thing. Same thing with religion.
My grandma once said that too much of anything is bad. Just look at chocolate. Sure, it's good but I wouldn't want to have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
There is, of course, an exception to that. I don't think we could ever have too much secularism around.
