      Instead of giving the state another avenue for oppression, what if we label religion as the disease that it is and work with mental health professionals to develop a treatment for it?

        This could easily turn into another avenue for oppression. “Desginate x a mental illness and treat it” doesn’t necessarily turn out any better than “Put all the practitioners of x in the gulag.” So really you need to focus on overthrowing the authoritarians who want to oppress people.

      Make it even simpler abolish organized religion. You’re free to do whatever you want in the privacy of your home, but get rid of all the temples, churches, mosques, and synagogues. No tax exemptions for religious organizations either (and that one change would kill most Christian churches practically over night).
