Religion has nothing to do in public areas, even worse in official positions
Sounds good

I’m perfectly fine with that, but it raises the thorny issue of someone wearing a pin with the flag of Geneva (which contains the Key of St Peter) or the flag of Switzerland (which contains a Christian cross).
When the Swiss flag was made official, the Federal Council described it as „at the same [time] the Christian cross symbol and the field sign of the Old Confederacy“.
in parliament i am not sure, after all everyone there is already a propaganda machine, so i see it making little difference.
but i guess its not bad to at least appear secular
Very good!
Does this mean they won’t be allowed to wear a cross necklace?
It is not without a certain irony of history that the very city of Protestantism now introduces such a ban.
Nice, although i’m a little bit sad that [Pastafarians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster) now can’t wear their spaghetti sieves or pirate hats (depending which Pastafarian sect they belong to) in parliament anymore, because that would just be quite funny 🤣
But, no, seriously, does anyone know the exact wording of the legal text? Is it just „religions“ or also „worldviews“? (Like: Are – what i hope – atheist symbols/shirts/slogans still **allowed**?)
Ban for minarets, niqabs, hijabs.
Swiss has no other problems than discriminating Muslims.
such a non issue. they already must respect the rule of not allowing personal interests to influence their decisions. what does their attire change? and how the fuck are they meant to enforce this. what counts as a religious symbol?
legally not even realistic, as far as i’ve read the law only forbids wearing these signs if you actually believe in the religion. Which would then be very difficult to prove… Again a non existent issue
So no more crucifixes right?
While you‘re at it, ban Religion altogether. Thanks!
Thought police strike again
That means that the lawmakers should come with empty wallets because they only believe in money.
