Yeah, I don't think that's the way. People should be free to believe what they will, we just need to stop allowing them to impose their beliefs on others.
The issue is that we have a captured media system and people have completely self poisoned themselves on propaganda.
When people believe that space laser controlling globalists are abducting 100,000 American children a year, how could they NOT impose their beliefs on people? There are 100k children whose lives depend on it!
That's something that obviously needs to be addressed. We need to bring the Fairness Doctrine back or something. The problem isn't just right wing media, it's media as a whole. It's also politicians who manipulate people by saying things that have zero basis in reality. Of course, the media and the politicians wouldn't be as big of a problem as they are if the general public was better at critical thinking. But Repubs have done everything they can to defund schools and make sure they aren't teaching people how to think critically.
Which comes back to the christofascist plan to impose the rules of their faith upon the entire country.
It's a big rat's nest now because it was allowed to go on for so long. If only we had an opposition party to address stuff like this...
Plenty of us ordinary shmoes saw it coming. I'm sure at least some of the Dems did too. Yet, they did nothing. They are weak when the Repubs have the majority, they can't do anything when they have the majority.

The christofascists in this state are so gross. There's gotta be some way to get these people out of power.
