Can a bunch of us file suit now to stop paying interest? [View all]

It's against my "deeply and sincerely held religious beliefs", and is even supported in the Bible

Leviticus 25:35-37: "If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you. You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food for profit."

I firmly believe that paying interest on my home loan and car loan, or my daughter's student loan is infringing on my religious beliefs..I don't think I'm going to pay it any more.
