That is, should paganism and atheism be banned? Can they be banned, in your opinion?

I support them being delegitimized and never supported by the government or recognized as culturally integral. Are there any pagans around who aren't kidding and also aren't a clownshow?

Or, as a third option, do you believe in complete religious freeedom?

Absolutely not.

Based. Religious freedom and secularism is a direct path to acceptance of Satanism (i.e. the modern world), which is why Jewish Satanist politicians push it so hard.

Christians, Catholics in particular, tend to forget that 'separation of Church and State' was A) always a compromise, never a component of the faith itself, and B) was specifically a compromise between Christian sects in a Christian nation. Even Enlightenment Project America recognized God, divinity, and divine purpose from the outset. They may have kept things vague to not provoke sectarian disputes, but not so vague as to make one wonder just what broad faith united the nation.

Now we have idiot clergy and pastors wringing their hands saying 'Well we have to respect Satanism otherwise we'd be violating people's personal beliefs. Anyway, anyone who doesn't think racism is super important is a pariah and should be denied the right to use the market.'

This especially is terrifying to me. Clergy are being manipulated and doing the manipulating and destroying our faith from within. It's disgusting.

They brought it on themselves. The number of clergy - even among supposed conservative Catholic stalwarts - who were able to call out James Martin for being the rodent he is has been minimal. A few did - I think Poprocki was one, there were others. But that was a good test case, and not many passed.

To clarify my position, paganism like Judaism, Wicca, and other crypto or proto Satanic and subversive religions (and Satanism itself, obviously) should be banned completely in my opinion, and theri adherents rigorously surveilled at the very least and preferably imprisoned and counciled about the greatness of Christianity. Other religions such as Islam would be hevaily regulated and watched, but not outright banned unless they start causing issues. Secularists and contrary religious beliefs should be monitored and cesnored, if need be.
