Yes, this is a good concept, but it only really works if its coupled with complete freedom of religion. You must be allowed to select any religion, or none at all, whenever you like. No compulsion, no repercussion. Religion must be a personal matter, and not a matter for the society. The society or anyone else must never be in position to dictate your choice of faith for you. Opposite has proven to be a recipe for disaster in many countries.

Agree with your post for the most part, except I’d use the word State instead of society. There shouldn’t be any laws that mandate or pander to a specific religion. People of all religions should have the right to practice, preach and congregate. And when those people start to infringe on the rights and freedoms of other individuals, the affected individuals should be given the legal recourse necessary to stop them.

Of course that’s easier said than done. I wouldn’t go to small town in Texas and start calling their god names, because all it takes is one nut job for me to lose my life. The American constitution does protect my right to free speech, but it can’t bring me back from the dead.
