Yes, I'd agree with that. But that's hard to do without marginalizing it in 
the first place. The whole point of religion is that it's a special 
protected status for those that practice it. (Well, mostly. Jews may 
disagree with that. :-)  Certainly if you manage a good level of secularity 
in your country, that makes religion much more palatable to those who aren't.
