| Message | The FRFSP's argument is really beside the point, as the provision proposed by the NPA ensures a separation of religion and public affiars, inasmuch that public officials are not allowed to bring their religion into the exercise of their duties, while the ordinary citizens, who avail themselves of the services of these officials in public building would not be required to divest themselves of any symbols of their religion when they do so. Nobody seeks the implementation of any religion in government. |
