I hate religion as much as the next guy. But becoming more authoritarian is definitely not the way to go. Instead we need more education.

Nope. And I would ban a hell of a lot more, too. KKK robes? Jail sentence. Religious apparel of any sort in a political role? Absolutely not. Nazi tattoos, jail sentence and forced removal. I’ve got zero tolerance for any of this hot garbage.

I share your emotions toward those things, but you’re asking for totalitarian measures. The solution is not to put people who “missbehave” into jail but to educate them better and to create a social environment which promotes compassion.
