I believe organized religion should be banned. Had this been done a few thousand years ago, countless millions would not have died horrible deaths, and the majority of today's problems would no exist.
To base morality on religion is also difficult to believe. Christianity bases it's rules of behavior on the fairy tale of Moses coming from the mountain with the Ten Commandments written in stone.
I am convinced these same ten rules have existed long before Moses made his entry. Tribes discovered during the last century, all behave as if Moses had personally talked to them.
I do believe in a higher intelligence. To look up at night at a non light poluted sky, to read up on details of the workings of any part of a living body, and the methods of propagation of some basic lifeforms are enough reason for me to believe in a creator, or, if evolution is real, to believe in the force behind evolution. It just seems a lot easier to give credit to a creator for it all then to credit accidental meetings of molecules and come up with all these fantastic results, even if there were a few billion years to do it in.
But when I look at all the man made forms of religion, I again think they should be done away with. Live your spiritual life within yourself, that is where the action is. Not on the front row benches of our places of organized worship. After all, look what we ended up with............BUSH
