More Religion But Which One?

There are some people who, strangely in my mind, want more religion in Society but they never seem to say what Religion they want and there are many competing faiths trying to become the one which wouldn't go down particularly well with the ones who get ignored and we have history books full of what happens when one religion lords it over another.
We could have Catholicism and contraception and abortions would be outlawed or the Jehovah’s Witness flavour and ban blood and bone marrow transfusions but if we went with the Jewish faith then no shops or businesses would be open on Saturday.
What about Islam and genders wouldn't be able to associate in public or Evangelical Christian and as AIDS is God’s punishment for gay people anti-retroviral drugs would not be a thing anymore and
sex outside marriage would be a sin so all woman with children outside of wedlock would not receive Child Benefit anymore and divorce would be banned.
As absurd and intolerable as all these examples seem, this is what the theocrats are calling for when they say they want Religion to be the norm so the simplest solution is to ignore them, let them beat their gums about what they want but don't let them have it and impose on the rest of us what they want because we shouldn't be bending the World around them.
