I don't think banning is a good answer. My own preferred solution is mandatory religious education. Once you learn about all of the religions of the world the idea that any of them could possibly be correct about either the nature of reality or deciding what is right becomes clearly absurd.
Or you know, you realize the source of your beliefs is incomgruent, and you don't really know what you believe in.
You are supposed to have a clear set of guiding principles from a given all-knowing God, otherwise he is just cruel, and not worth worshipping.
A set of guiding principles from and all-knowing God is not what religion is. Maybe it's what Abrahamic religions are, but there were religions before them and other religions even today.
Cmon, your soul depends on getting it right. Might as well be as clear and accurate as possible.
