Should Obama require all Americans to have a religion?

Should Barack Obama require all Americans to have a stated religion or be fined/go to jail?

Precedent: Obamacare - health reform - mandatory health coverage.

Only mandatory religion coverage can save America.

America is losing its faith. America is going to heck in a handbasket. Only Obama can save America by forcing all Americans to subscribe to at least one non-profit, tax-exempt God-fearing religion or be fined/go to jail.

Right?

Examples of God-fearing, non-profit, tax-exempt religions:

Scientology of Hollywood
Westboro Baptist Church of Kansas
Buddhism
Hinduism
Hare Krishna
Church of Common Sense

and so on

Words: Doctrine, dogma, attempted humor, humor, irony, satire, your religion is better than my religion vs my religion is better than your religion - eternal conflict, Monty Python, pontification, the Religious Thought Police (1984 novel - George Orwell), current culture, etc.

Reality (2011):

No.

First amendment.

Secondly, if you are trying to draw a parallel with health care. The fine/tax isnt criminal so jail isnt in the cards. The government has been using tax policy in the form of credits, rebates and breaks to encourage behavior for a very long time.

That's why the answer is no. If he wants to seek reelection., that idea would not help him in any way.

No.
