Nothing personal, I just think you are talking about a social problem rather than a religious one. Anyone who imposes their belief structure on someone else is wrong, but you get force fed cock everyday, why are you stopping to check the colour?
Your views really arent all that out there, infact as this thread has proven they're pretty much mainstream. I just think its a little tragic that you don't want a religious person to pray before he eats his meal because it might make you feel 'a little uncomfortable'. Personally I think you need to get the fuck over it.

So if it's not your way, it's retarded...right...

If the way involves removing religion from schools then, yes, its totally retarded. You can't deliver a solid educational programme without acknowledging the impact of religion. You can't talk about sociology or History without discussing religion and you can't discuss literature without talking about religious texts. If you were raised in a state school, in the wester world, chances are most of those fables and parables you want to get rid of underpin most of your core values anyway.... You must see there's a huge difference between forced indoctrination or the studying and understanding of a subject.
As for the whole religion kills argument, I don't see why you arent grasping that its a circular argument. Religion kills and saves lives. I have no idea how many lives religion has saved or how many lives religion has taken, neither does anyone else, because its an abstract argument filled with way too many variables.
As for the burqa ban, if you approve of the ban, you are certainly not against all forms of censorship are you?... you just approved a ban. Wouldn't it make more sense for people to wear whatever they want and stop retarded husbands beating on their wives and forcing them to wear shit they don't want to? I don't see how a blanket ban on burqa's actually stops oppression.
