So it seems to me rather imperative to find ways to improve the rationality of ordinary folk, and one very good start would be getting rid of religion.
By outlawing religion? Or by some other means?
Outlawing religion outright in a religious society would cause some serious problems and would probably require a very authoritarian government.
I’d say that’s just the kind of thing that would define a government as “very authoritarian”.
“Probably”? Are you (and pnrjulius, and JD19) entirely ignorant of the history of the 20th century?
I say probably because it might not require an authoritarian government to enact such a policy. I can imagine realistic scenarios.
