| Date | 12:58:15, October 24, 2014 CET | From | Sammen | To | Debating the MP Religion Bill 3748 |
| Message | We believe in a secular state that should not treat religions any differently than other cultural or business organizations. As such, we support articles 1 and 4. We're against article 3 on the basis of freedom of expression - people can dress as they like, as long as they keep their religion out of actual policymaking. We're also against article 2 (and 5 as it stems from it). We believe all education in Kazulia should adhere to certain scientific standards and methods, and all schools should be culture-, religion- and race-neutral. We completely support education about religion in an academic way, to stimulate debate and thought, just as in all other subjects, but fear that religious schools would inherently have trouble staying neutral in this aspect. Overall, we see no need for religious schools: we completely uphold the right of students in all schools to openly express their religiosity and debate religion, but we don't think schools should be grounds for cultural segregation. |
