I think a better approach is to simply not let this people get away with anti-social or fraudulent practices just because they are religious. Harmful religious beliefs and practices should not receive any kind of immunity from criticism and prosecution any more. Religion should be treated just like any other ideology. When it encroaches in an area where it is irrelevant, as you say, or more importantly, detrimental and counterproductive, it should be strongly opposed. Cheers, Santosh
