Hunt down and kill the assholes for Jeebus.

"do you think religion should be outright banned outside people's private residences?" 

Excellent idea. 

Also, god-soaked scum need to be relentlessly ridiculed because they brainwash children, and like you said they get in the way of human progress. The god-soaked are just plain stupid and they need to be repeatedly told they're retarded. They also need to be told they're cowards. So afraid of reality they are willing to believe any nonsense that would make reality go away, for example the moronic childish cowardly magical heaven fantasy that makes terrorism possible. 

To all religious scum: Drop dead. 

A brain-dead Christian moron wrote "Darwins theory of Evolution is a fairytale." 

Can you imagine the stupidity required to write something that insane? Science makes these cowardly uneducated diph!ts cry. 

The stupid. The burning out of control stupid. 

"Why does religion still exist?" 

It's thanks to the child abuse called religious brainwashing. The brainwashers should be put in prison. 

A possible solution is all children, starting at a very young age, no matter what school they go to, should be required to get competent science education, especially evolution. This is the only way to prevent the religious brainwashing from working. If it was up to me the brainwashers would be hunted down and killed.
