Best question ever perposed

Should we take the same approach to religion as we do with smoking?
Like, ban it for people under 18+?
Religion is just like smoking - it used to be almost universal, but
now in our modern, educated society it is becoming far less socially
acceptable. It is also pretty pointless (although some people
apparently get some comfort/pleasure from it), its harmful to the
user, dangerous to children and annoying to non-participants.
Should we take the same approach to religion as we do with smoking?:
- children should be protected from it as far as possible (selling it
to under 18s should obviously be banned)
- it should be taxed to hell!
- there should be education campaigns to emphasis its dangers, and to
make it socially unacceptable.
- it should not be banned, and adults should be free to participate if
they so choose, provide they do not harm others
