I don't know what country you are living in, but here in North America we already have the freedom to live and think for ourselves. By taking away our right to believe, you are taking away the right to think for ourselves and are replacing it by letting
you think for us. When people are free, they are free to disagree with you.

Please provide me with this proof. And for that matter, the scientific framework that allows you to prove that
anything is "false".

the freedom to do anything regardless of some idiotic concept of "sin"...

You are free to commit all the sins you like. But
I am free to restrain myself from committing them. That's what freedom is all about. One of the greatest philosophers, Immanuel Kant, argued that in order to truly be free, we must obey some sort of rules, even if we set them ourselves.

Yes, I know full well what freedom actually means. A world poisoned by religion cannot have it.

I don't think that you do, because it can, and it has it.

Of course it's "radical" to say that religion is bad and antithetical to freedom in a world dominated by the religious. I have no qualms about that position.

Radical is not all that your position is. It is also
absurd. You propose eliminating one of the most fundamental freedoms we have, the freedom to believe, in the name of... freedom? Maybe you should run for President.
