"I have no wish to persecute any religion. I think they should all be treated equally before the law, and thus none should be promoted, and none persecuted."

Why should religion be before the law, is it a not a law unto itself? If I believe God can walk on water or ascend to heaven on a horse why would I submit to a state sanctioning the codes of beliefs I do not agree with.

If a newer better religion came along should not the state sanction it? The Romans certainly thought it wise when they were fighting a losing battle against the Christians. A suicide bomber cannot objectively interpret what he feels is right anymore than you can.
