Isn't this going a little too far?

ELTON JOHN: 'I WOULD BAN RELIGION COMPLETELY'

Sir Elton said: "I think religion has always tried to turn hatred towards gay people. Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. From my point of view I would ban religion completely. "Organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate."
