It sounds frighteningly similar to something someone else tried around 80 years ago or so.

oh, peace, you elusive ideal. How do we get you to stick around? Oh yeah, torture and kill everyone! Brilliant! Why has no one thought of this before!
And your Church does this by teaching people in Africa that condoms won't help stop the spread of HIV and AIDs, by glorifying poverty as martyrdom, and up until recently by hiding or otherwise protecting the pedophiles in the priesthood?
You'll forgive me for asking that you try something different.

Why?
I have no interest in removing 5-year-olds from their families, nor do I have interest in executing children, for starters.

And I would toss aside our political and other differences and be fighting right at your side.
Change "philosophy" to "narcissistic rant" and I'm in.

Lucky for us, no entity so huge exists that would require much of North America to ban together effectively, and likely never will.
That line might be a lot thinner than I'd like.

I suppose you didn't read the OP. How pathetic.
I will forgive you for any and all that you ask for.
The sin of artificial contraception has merits far beyond your willing to understand or concede. It is true it became more difficult to make such an appeal in the wake of an AIDS crisis. Perhaps the Church was slow to respond but the pope did declare condoms were acceptable in such cases.
So you in all your supreme wisdom have found fault in the Church at some secular level. I guess that makes you the victor, you have dethroned the Catholic Church and Jesus Christ over this matter. All other enormous acts of charity, sacrifice, forgiveness and piety can now be discarded.
Have you considered that a wiser path to peace is to live and let live and really do that "to each their own" instead of shoving your own values and ideals in everyone else's faces? Demanding everyone else do as you do is the very stuff of war, racism, bigotry, oppressors, and intolerance. I do hope that you realize that. I mean, I admire the spirit of what you're getting at, but the means you suggest produces precisely what you hope to avoid.
I did and as someone who generally supports more authoritarian systems of government(Enlightened Despotism specifically) I think your concept goes too far in one direction. The society you're proposing would quickly stagnate, and lose not just the worst parts of the various cultures but the best parts as well. While I agree with, say, holocaust denial & creationism being offenses that are punishable by law, I do not think children should be taken from families without cause.
Good people will be good regardless of the banner they fly. The only thing the Church has to aid in that is its infrastructure and wealth
Uh oh, don't try this stuff in Revoltistan.....it can make one's trigger finger itch. (We're always looking for a reason to be revolting.)

I didn't talk to you, my friend.
Though, I think if advancement would only happen if children are taken from families and I did come with a cause.
Bigotry, racism, religion are usually from families. Families with their outdated worldviews teaches children that evolution is wrong for no apparent reason other than it conflicts with Creationism.
These children grow up with these brainwashing ideas and become the product of their parents. Ignorance is like a virus, it spreads to your next generation.
During the age of 5, children are usually at the age of starting to understanding the world and rejecting fairytales and accept reality, thus, we should present them the reality rather than fairytales such as Young Creationism or that Black people are talking apes compared to "humans."
A government wouldn't be so opinionated and teach the child from an impartial perspective, we must deviate them from the families then, in order to succeed this.
About cultures, the various will be remembered in history, just like Red Indians and Scotsmen. While the best will be continued with some diversity with other good cultures, as long as it is compatible to main point of my philosophy; promoting knowledge.
Thus, multiculturalism will be promoted, we wouldn't cultureless. The worst of the best will be eradicated and the best of the best of any culture will be incorporated with the main country's society.

No. Because we lose wisdom that way. If all the great scientists just had shut up and never shared their opinions and knowledge, we would never progress to this point we are now.
