Thread: What law obligates the abandonment of Religion?

Is there a law known to be in existence within any lawful jurisdiction within the entire world that forbids the practice of some form of 'Religion', whether that religion be Monotheistic, polytheistic, Atheistic, Agnostic or any other assemblage that might be construed as a 'religion'?

In other words, if one philosophy (most religions are forms of philosophy) demands the adherence to a particular set of philosophy(ies), is there a law that can require that same philosophy to abandon those teachings and take up the requirements of another philosophy for the sake of holding a conversation or discussion?

Well, that is a part of a set of religious laws and the practice of that would be at least a partial practice of a religion.. so I think that one would probably not fit the bill in answering the question. Thanks anyway.

Members of the Christian Identity movement are not allowed to practice racial segregation or discrimination in most instances though they may believe those things are right.

Your Goebbels quote is erroneous...an awesome example of how if you tell the same lie over and over it can become truth. Another example: Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord

That is not a ban against 'religion' or a prohibition against 'religion'.

Religions are merely sets of beliefs or practices with a certain mystical flavor.

The USSR had laws banning all religion.....except the religion of the cult of personality that actually ran the show of course

Also, did you notice that the way you stated the original question, such a law is literally impossible? If you define atheism as a religion, then any ban on religion is actually allowing the religion of atheism. So such a ban on religion, as you defined it, is impossible.
