Meinung: Keine Staatsreligion in Quebec? Schauen Sie noch einmal

Some people do not seem happy about this article. I guess the „No downvotes!“ mention is not enough.

The article is not wrong though. Laicity/Secularism is about having no religious power controling society. It has never been about banning people from practicing their own religion. Forcing people to abandon their personal faith in order to have equal rights with others is the same exact thing as forcing people to adopt a specific religion in order to have equal rights with others.

Those who cannot understand that should start reading more on this issue before the province becomes a far-right cesspool (which the CAQ seems hell-bent on doing).

Quebec needs to get over trying to codify every part of our lives.

As a non religious person: Fuck the current „secularism“ laws. The only people I see around here rejoicing are:
– those who have an irrational fear of Muslims
– those who enjoy the thought of forcing everyone into a particular way of living in Quebec society

I say both groups need to grow up.

If Quebec is to one day take itself seriously and be a strong province, it should refrain from starting every issue from the „underdog“ position. We have a lot to offer the rest of North America as far as culture and productivity go, but we won’t be able to get there if we spend all our time clutching our pearls about religion/language/whatever-the-fuck-cause-of-the-day.
