is no worse than political exclusion.

For example excluding someone because they believe in communism or facism is no different than excluding someone for another type belief, religious or not.

If we include regligion, then we must include all beliefs. Even racism and necrophila. Afterall, they are just beliefs

Incorrect. This is a crude categorization and a faulty premise. This is like saying because we allow hugging people, then we should allow strangling people because they are both actions involving physical contact with another person.

They may be all beliefs, but some are harmful, or entail harmful details. We allow the ones that aren't, and exclude the ones that are.

So if exclude facism, we can exclude the harmful religions as well?

We exclude the harmful aspects of religions already. For example, Christianity calls for the murder of one who plants crops of different types in the same plot. But that is excluded, and isn't allowed.

ok but what if the reglion is fundamentally harmful? at it's core. Then we just ban the whole thing right?

Not necessarily. If the core of a religion is "WE LIKE TO MURDER," then no one can tell you you can't be a part of that religion, but you also wouldn't be allowed to carry out those actions.

What if a religion believes that eating people alive is the one and only way to go to heaven? Any alternative is to go to hell.


What then?

See above. No one can stop you from identifying as part of that religion, but if you act on it and murder and eat someone, you'll be punished appropriately.

Then why don't we just exclude the harmful aspects Nazism, instead of prohibiting it?

I have yet to see someone being arrested just for labelling themselves as being Nazis.

In US they don't go to jail but in Europe they do, and that brings a lot of things into debate
