Coercive persuasion is secular conduct. Insofar as it is recognized as coercion and "undue influence," it is illegal conduct. Prohibition of this specific conduct will protect the State itself and the free exercise rights of all citizens without infringing on the free exercise rights of religious organizations.
Coercive persuasion is antithetical to the First Amendment. It achieves much of the harmful result of fraud, false imprisonment, coercion, undue influence, involuntary, servitude, intentional infliction of emotional distress, outrageous conduct, and other tortuous acts.
Coercive persuasion is unfair manipulation of the biological and psychological weaknesses and susceptibilities of one's fellow men. It is an opposite to charity and kindness. It is a psychological modus operandi of a criminal or totalitarian society.
Coercive persuasion is not a religious practice. It is a covert control technology. It is not a belief or an ideology. It is a technological process that impairs rationality.
As a process it can be examined separately from any message content that may be associated with its practitioners. This is like examining the technical processes used in hypnotic induction separately from examining the meaning or value of any hypnotic suggestion given during hypnosis. Examining processes, never beliefs, will not violate anyone's First Amendment religious protections.
MIND CONTROL AND RELIGION

coersion and religion
I suppose that many people would thing that religion is a form of coercion and mind control. Religion in my expierence is or can be when misused by those who lead. I prefer a individual faith or belief to religion. A faith seems to have a benificial reflection in the life of the believer derived from the divine influence of God in the heart and the change there produced by grace, a free gift. Change is natural and not forced it just happens. In addition change inmy life then is not needed to be forced upon anyone else. Its just for me as God wills it for me not for you or anyone else.

I'm sure you know what you mean - I don't, haven't got a clue, 'Coercive persuasion is unfair manipulation of the biological and psychological weaknesses and susceptibilities of one's fellow men. It is an opposite to charity and kindness. It is a psychological modus operandi of a criminal or totalitarian society'.
