Date | 20:56:53, June 29, 2012 CET | From | Progressive Green Party | To | Debating the Religious Clothing and Symbols Act |
Message | We support this change. Separation of church and state does not imply forced secularism. People should be free to express their religious/irreligious beliefs in public. This doesn't mean that religious beliefs will affect laws or policies, which would indeed be a violation of separation of church and state. |
