Description[?]:
| Religious leaders can be influential. Many people will follow a particularly charismatic leader, especially if they believe his word is the word of God. This is not a bad thing. Many religious leaders urge their followers to do good, to help their fellow citizens and lead healthy lives. But there are some leaders who influence their followers to do wrong. They urge the faithful to discriminate against certain groups, religious and secular. They condone violence and other wrong-doings towards citizens who do not believe in their God, or go against the principles of their religion. They force their opinions of morality on people, telling them that contraception is wrong, or stem-cell research is against God. We feel it is the State's duty to keep these people from becoming ministers of religion. |
