What do they believe? What do you think? Talk about religion as it exists today.

No, "fraudulent religions" have been ' regulated' by the keepers of the ' non-fraudulent religions' from time immemorial.
Jesus is one example of how this regulation of fraudulent religions operated .
Note how the post above refutes your statement.

You say no regulation then show an example of regulation. You might want to decide what you want to say.

Jan Hus, Joan of Arc and ... are other examples .
I don't think ancient and likely imaginary conditions apply to our modern governments.

Come to our modern times.

Perhaps the history of the 20th century is not that different from events that took place in ancient times and ever since .

History should not be ignored.

And which court of law would they be prosecuted in? The one where you place your hand on a Bible and swear "to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God?"

First you need a truly non-religious court and state structure before you can even start to think about claiming religious fraud against all its practitioners.

I have shown where I draw the line.
At lies designed to fleece the weakest and most gullible minds/victims. IOW, fraud.

I cannot enforce it by the government and legal systems can.

What if the 'Liar' believes what they are saying. If I say that the sky is green and actually believe that, should I be penalized for it even though it is actually blue?

Where you draw the line and where rational people draw the line are apparently two different things.

If they are not using morals examples and are using color examples, like you did, you are correct.

I am pleased not to be in such a poor mental state.
