I get where you’re coming from but the legal system is absolutely not the way to get there.
I think better, more extensive education is the only way really. And we’ve been seeing that fruit over the past century as schooling became more universal (as compared to 100 years ago, of course.)
The kind of educational system we’d have under a socialist world…

Worst case scenario of this is something like France’s laicite which on paper is against all public flaunting of religion but in practice just means “fuck the Muslims.”
Yeah, religious norms become social/societal norms - or at least heavily influence them.
This becomes quickly problematic when you start thinking about how this can make it very easy to discriminate against more ethnic minorities/immigrants than anything since they’re more likely to dress differently (in a way that often is religiously influenced, even if they themselves aren’t devout)

Agreed. The legal system can still be manipulated and used to manipulate others. Education is truly the only way to rid the world of religion.
