I agree with you on the use of public funds. But a ban goes beyond that.

And it's not that the religion enables evil deeds. Evil deeds exist independent of religion. Because some people use it as a thin veil over their actions doesn't mean it's the root cause

    I firmly disagree with this premise, I think religion's particular mix of social othering and righteous justification are the root of a great deal of evil in the world.
