My parents treat religion like its their whole life, I feel like religions should be banned as cults.

I understand your opinion, but I would argue that banning religions is not the right approach. Instead, I believe more resources should be made available to help educate individuals on the risks of joining cults and the benefits of critical thinking. Ultimately, I think it’s important for individuals to be able to decide for themselves which faith, if any, to practice. But for some people, especially those younger and more susceptible to pressure from family and peers, it can be hard to know the difference between an appropriate religious practice and a cult. By educating people on the risks and promoting a culture of critical thinking, we can reduce the chances that people will join harmful religious groups.
