Fellow Atheists: Would you favor making religious practice illegal?

I know this is a controversial view and only a minority of atheists are bold enough to make this proclamation, but I would make it like the DUI system in that first time offenders would not be punished severely, but habitual offenders would be locked away for extended periods of time. I believe that christians willfully inflict punishment to the best of their ability on non-believers that resist evangelical efforts; I also believe that christian ideology paves the way for a sociopathic society that idolizes money (not to mention is an aggressive religion that is responsible for several bloody wars throughout history and they are being continued today.) I can't speak for all atheists, but I feel that any religion is dangerous; christianity is especially dangerous to those of us living in the U.S. because it has had a direct impact on our lives. Therefore, I feel that we have a civic duty, or a "calling" if you will, to disprove this set of beliefs and vehemently oppose any efforts of the church. Furthermore, atheists should do anything in their power to get all religions out of the public arena, if not outlawed.
