🤔🤔🤔 If Americans live in a free country, then we may not ban legally recognized religions of any sort. Even Satanism has two main branches which are now legally recognized in the United States. Voodoo, or Voodoun, is also a legally recognized religion.
There are cults out there, however, which are NOT legally recognized. They fleece their members, stalk them and threaten them, force them to work like slaves, and even, at times, encourage them to commit suicide, or trick them into doing so.
There are some terrible stories out there. Really terrible. There are cults where you are not ALLOWED to leave. There are cults which prey on their own female members, (even children), and take away all their freedoms.
Extremism of all sorts, usually associated with legal or illegal fundamentalist religions OF ALL SORTS, is usually some pretty hairy stuff, and most normal and sane people reject that, just as they would reject a cult.
There are even some who call Progressive liberalism a cult...a religion. If that is true, Progressivism should definitely have a sanity check, and although I would LIKE to see it banned, again, we live in a free country, and we may not ban them.
