Nope...not suggesting anyone be imprisoned...HOWEVER, IF a country has a law or rule against something who are these religions to assume they have the right to suggest or do otherwise? I have an issue with Religions pushing their brand on people without any fact or basis to do so.
Because I really don't think you have a problem with someone presenting fiction as fact. You've got a thing against religions. And that's cool. Just admit as much and move on.
Ive never hidden behind the fact I am a true blue Atheist, others have a problem with my choice. I do have issues with people lying....in any way shape or form.
Essentially. Just trying to view things from your side, that's all. Do you agree with prison terms for lying?
Not sure I follow what you mean by prison terms.
Nobody forces anyone to live by any moral code. It's suggested, but no one's got you at gun point, everyone there is there of their own free will. Laugh at that all you want, but I can guarantee you that I'm not religious just because I feel that I have to be. I don't feel guilted into anything. I'm religious because it makes sense to me. I could care less if that makes sense to you.
Of course the Mormans dont force anyone in its claws to live by its codes. Of course the Catholic church doesnt demand its people live by its codes. Of course the Islamic Nation doesnt want its people to adhere to its principles.
Free will is the ability to question the ideas of anything...including the religion you belong to.
