this could get pretty controversial
do you think that the world/US should be more secular (nonreligious, worldly, liberal)? (seperation of church and state) examples could be like having the ten commandments in front a city hall or the use of the word 'God' in the pledge, etc. personally, i think that it is fine right now. i cant imagine a more secular world where everything you say can criticized. i consider myself a semi-conservative thoughts? |

wouldn't those examples be examples of NON-secular?
 well, i personally think that it should be more secular. people are still prejudice against different religions whether they'll admit to it or not. also, since christians are the dominant religion in the U.S., they seem to think that they have the first hand to everything, where they can include parts of their religion in national traditions. (i.e. the national anthem) i take offense to "one nation, under god" in the pledge because you're supposed to get "in trouble" for not saying it. I purposely don't say "under god" because for 1.) i don't believe in god and 2.) i shouldnt be forced to say something that i dont believe in. |
