That's all very well but in previous "Let's ban religion!!" diatribe threads on here in the past I've asked people what their definition of 'religion' is, since it could be argued that football teams, actors, singers, bands etc could be considered deities when you think of how they are worshipped.

So my point was if you ban religion then you have to ban these pastimes too as they follow the same path as say 'Christianity' in how they are adhered to.

That apparently was not good enough. I think it was more a case of militant atheists using any excuse to have a pop at (what they consider to be) religion so I'm going on the legal definition as they refuse to reveal their own perimeters for it.
