Those religions which are racist are especially undesirable social implications. I have long felt disquiet that the State, for example through religious exemption from payment of tax and support of certain schools, retirement institutions and hospitals, perpetuates and encourages racism. As social services are progressively outsourced to religious operatioons in areas such as employment services and welfare, this issue is becoming more widespread and more pressing.
As for certain other interpersonal activities, the State should consider race-based religious activity to be acceptable only "between consenting adults and in private" and in other regards, to stay well clear.
