Pretty much. If this rule is removed, one could pass a resolution banning religion forcing Christian Democrats, or Railana into non-compliance. If removed we will see an endless stream of arguments, resolutions, repeals, and eventually blockers that will effectively put he rule back in place through legislation. Seems rather counter-productive to remove the rule only to go through all of that. I say leave it.
That removing this rule would somehow result in an "endless stream of arguments, resolutions, repeals, and [...] blockers" is delusional. You have a tendency of gushing apocalyptic prophecies over really minor rule changes. There aren't enough regulars in the GA that have any interest in passing resolutions which would ban ideologies that there would be any significant legislative paralysis. Furthermore, the masses of players that would supposedly submit an "endless stream" of ideological bans according to you are likely already unfamiliar with the existence of the ideological ban rule anyway.
