Religionsfreiheit
“It’s a dumb freedom. [...] And I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little tired of this freedom of religion thing. When did religion get such a good name, anyway? Be it the Crusades, the Reformation genocides, the troubles in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, mass slaughters supposedly in the name of Allah, and then, of course, the obligatory reciprocal retribution. Hundreds of millions of people have died in religious conflicts. Hitler did his business in the name of his Creator. 9/11 was an act of religious extremism. It’s our greatest threat today – a Holy Jihad. If we’re not ready to strip religion out of its sacred cow status, how about we at least scale back a little on the constitutional dogma exalting it as all get-out? [...] Everybody should get to believe in God. Pray to his God, worship his God, of course. But to impose him on others, to victimize others in His name, the Founding Fathers of this country set out to prevent persecution, not to license it. [...] At a certain point, we have to say: Enough of this freedom of religion crap.“
