Outside of the home and inside if the numbers become beyond 10.
Would this be a good idea in your eyes?
Currently public based religion allows the worlds secret police to infiltrate and gain understanding of what makes certain people/groups tick so would removing this yieldy source of intel be a good or bad idea?

The Romans had a good crack at outlawing Christianity because of all the chaos it was causing them and look how well that turned out. People will believe whatever they want to and there's nothing you can do to stop that, it's just not practical x
Nothing Utopian about criminalising religious practice, Chrissy. That's Stalinism, isn't it? There's an obvious (or rather what I thought ought to be obvious) exception: when a given religious practice contravenes the law of the land, e.g. polygamous marriage, or FGM.
"Practices" apart, bad ideas (religious or other) don't need legal proscription, they need refutation.

I would proscribe all organised religious groups. There is no need for people to gather together to "pray" (or whatever it is they feel the need to do). They can do that in the comfort of their own living rooms with equally successful results. There's no need to control their thoughts. They can still have them. They simply have to keep them to themselves.
The comparison with football is very appropriate. I would not allow that to be played before a paying public either. If it must be played, it can be played in an empty stadium and broadcast over TV only. Matches would not be allowed to be shown on TV in any public place.
Fanciful? Very much so. Desirable? Even more so.
