Your definition of “banned” is useless as there will always be pockets of acceptability where certain topics can be discussed. If you are not able to discuss certain topics for fear of retribution from contemporary powerful institutions (now: tech, prev: religion): banned.
I’d say that a definition of “banned” which allows most people to discuss the topic openly and at length, should they wish to, is not a particularly accurate use of the word “banned”.

I have no problem declaring that I am an atheist for all of ~5 people to see. If I had a large following I'd be less likely to, and if I did 15 years ago I would have been removed from my Catholic school. Context matters.

Everyone censors themselves in certain environments. No one tells their wife they look fat in that dress and if you are the CEO of a large company you often hide your political opinions to not alienate customers. If you don't want people getting fired strengthen labor rights
