| Message | Yeah and there is also something called freedom of religion. But I do agree state and church should be seperated, but just because you where religious clothing or symbold does not mean you wont have seperation of state and church, because this lets person of every religion wear there own symbols (the idea of seperation of state and church as I understand it is to prevent one religion from dominating a country, not to prevent religion in general from being practiced by state officials), but at the same time they can wear normal clothes, so it lets the people use the clothes they want |

| Message | Do you think that if they wear religious symbols to work their ideals won't intervene with their work? Separation of state and church is simply that, separation. Religion goes where religion is practiced, not at work, especially government officials. |

| Message | Yeah but just because you wear religious clothes does not mean you actively practice it at work. As long as we dont have a state church we got speration. The current value is simply religious discrimination |
