    By law, religious people should not be allowed in government or policy making. Delusional people cannot be trusted with such work.

      Who would pass such a law? Hell, who would even vote for such a law? Churches have enormous influence at the ballot box.

      Even at the peak of its power, the Soviets couldn’t simply abolish religious leadership. And they were in a country with Atheists in the highest tiers of government, with actual money and military power to toss around. What’s the plan to outlaw religious demagogues in a state founded by religious demagogues?
