No, that would be highly wasteful. Also, many people just pretend to believe the nonsense. Like Bill Clinton clutching his Bible and pretending to adhere to the moral strictures while fondling girls in the vestibule and wielding vastly more fire-power than the Roman Empire ever did, and using it. Christianity is widely misunderstood [pretty well universally]. What it was primarily about was the importance of the individual and individual relations rather than the state which was collectivist alpha male power based on murderous tribal territorial dominance hierarchy, genocide, conquest and confiscation. The point of the icon of Jesus on the cross was to show what the state does to individuals. Strangely, even with literal representations staring people in the face each day, the point escapes nearly everyone and the message has been changed to some sort of superstitious theme detached from politics. So, give them a chance to freely covert to some other superstition of their choice. Those who change their minds would be free to go, those who are steadfast that they want to murder other people would be sold as body parts, by auction to the highest bidder. Transplant surgeons would bid lots, with good bodies fetching $millions. The point of Christianity is free will, self determination, the importance of the individual rather than the state and individual relationships. Mqurice
