    The only example you call out doesn’t even ban religion. It’s restricted in China and I think the Uyghur population there can explain that it’s not sunshine and rainbows.

    'China’s constitution says ordinary citizens enjoy “freedom of religious beliefs” and the government officially recognizes five religions: Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism and Daoism (also called Taoism). ’

      Genocide has nothing to do with banning religion.

      I hate China too but this is a stretch.

      In china you can privately follow whatever beleif you want.

      But they also keep that garbage out of the public.

        To be fair. I don’t hate China and it’s clear you failed to back up your previous claim.

        Religious intolerance by the state directly contributed to the staged and incremental reduction in that groups QOL.

        For Americans, 1A protects religious speech even if it is a bit frustrating when you hear someone preaching in the street. I wouldn’t hazard undermining 1A even though we are all tired of bad actors abusing it.(Westboro Baptist Church, Proud Boys, etc)
