U.S. - More government officials across the country are calling for common-sense religion control.

The officials insist they don't want to ban religion entirely --  they just want some basic, common-sense laws to regulate it. From background checks to licensing requirements and forced church closures, state officials everywhere are leading the charge to implement much-needed regulations on the practice of religion.

"It's past time that we begin implementing basic, common-sense laws against potentially problematic religions," said Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. "Nobody's coming for your religion -- we just want some safe and sane restrictions on it."

"If we save even one life, it's worth it."

Measures proposed by many state legislatures and governors include the following:

• Background checks on purchases of holy books
• Age restrictions before religious teaching can be given
• Limit to number of theology books one can own
• Pastoral licensing
• Bans on high-capacity church buildings
• Stringent restrictions on concealed Bible carry
• A 10-day waiting period after you click on a sermon on YouTube
