Reply #7: Age of Reason would expose and undermine - not ban - religion

[NAO]

>More likely it will galvanize the movement, just like the threat of banning religion by communists created the religious right.

The difference is that when communists banned religion there was a sense of totalitarian government oppression. Religion was FORBIDDEN.

If The Age of Reason were flooded into circulation, the religious right would try to BAN it. The Age of Reason would be forbidden.

And the curiosity that is created by banning or suppressing a book would get some people to read it, and having read it, many would never believe the claims of religions again. It is a very well written, well argued, well documented case against revealed religion in general (pt. 1) and the infallibility of the Bible in particular (pt 2).
