| Message | We the Progressive Liberals have a firm stance regarding religions: absolute freedom must be available to all citizens, and there should not be any kind of religion-originated censorship (aka "avoiding offenses"). However, we also believe in the separation between Church and State, and think that it should be completely polar. Thus, we want public officials not to display any religious symbols during the exercise of their public duties, as the State does not have anything to do with religion. |
