Banning pot is also undemocratic. It is done for social policy reasons.
Banning other religions entirely is, however, a much larger infringement on democracy. It involves controlling the way people think and the way they act in their own homes. Once the other religions are banned, how do you access the freedom of ideas required for further elections and elected different parties in the future?
