I wasnt advocating for surveiling everyone. I was suggesting creating an atmosphere that continuously shuts down religion just like we do with Nazism. I accept that not everyone agrees with Nazis, but our general consensus is that Nazis are bad. The same cannot be said for our general consensus of religion.
These groups get their legitimacy and authority by following an ideology everyone worships. There’s a reason why Scientology is seen as a stupid idea while Christianity/Islam are “ways of life.” It’s because the latter religions are popular and they become legitimate because of popularity. That’s why I think it’s really important to shame anyone who considers themselves a true religious person, to errode that legitimacy.

Well, as I see it, it’s only organized religion that is harmful.
