Elton John has called for religiojn to be banned, does he have a point?

Elton John made a very valid point. However it is not only s who are singled out for hatred by religious groups. They attack other religions, they are unable to even stop killing people of the same religion who worship in a slightly different form and of course atheists are counted as fair game by everyone. Banning religion looks, on first glance, to be a solution but the history of attempting to ban things paints quite another picture. Look, for example, at America's try at banning alcohol in the Prohibition days - all it did was to force drinking underground and to create the still existent organized crime families. I think that proper education is the only way the yoke of religion will ever be lifted from man's shoulders - but don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
