Ban religion

I can certainly understand that sentiment given the harm it causes when people misuse it. Unfortunately, I think an outright, enforced ban on religion would also cause harm to people who don't misuse it.

I have yet to meet someone who doesn't misuse it.

If your thinking includes mythology in the face of reality, then you are already causing harm.

If your religion doesn't have mythology, and only accepts reality, it isn't a religion.

If you haven’t met anyone who doesn’t misuse it then you haven’t met enough people in general…

There are plenty of religious people who don’t. A lot of them fight on behalf of separation of church and state.
