This is difficult to answer, since I have been brainwashed by the WTS. Still not thinking clearly, and I can see it's going to take a long time...
However, a lot of persons are very upset with religious zealots who resort to vicious attacks on others, particularly the fundamentalist Muslims who are pro-actively hateful and violent toward other religions, and the Jewish persons who do the same. Others see Christianity as a force no less evil although, perhaps, a bit more subtle in its "approach".
It remains to be seen whether or not people will get tired and upset enough by this to take any kind of action against all religions. I don't myself see this as happening any time soon, but then again, I never thought an American president would have the audacity to term Sadam Hussein and his co-horts "The Axis of Evil" (the axis of evil? What the hell is that?) and go on to launch an attack which negatively (to say the very least) impacts persons who are unfortunate enough to live under this man's regime.

If the governments took away their tax exempt and privileged status this would help with a lot of budget problems. Maverick

Mav, you're right on that account. However, my contributions to my faith would not diminish even if they were not tax deductible plus, I think I would find ways to accomplish the same ends without having to have the group taxed.

The governments cannot mandate the suppression of religion... all that will do is piss off most people and make more terrorists.
The way to get rid of religion, or a big chunk of it, is to continue making governments more secular. Gods tend to wither without funding and support from governments.
