Secularisation Act 2016

Opening Speech

Mr Deputy Speaker

We have tried and failed, the experiment of secularism.

As was predicted by the wise few who voted against it when it was first proposed in this chamber years ago, we have seen an increase in legislation targeting religions across the board, from the banning of faith schools in Northern Ireland to the banning of religious practices here in England.

Secularism has led to a wave of religious intolerance, and we must undo it.

I commend this bill to the House and commend the reformation of the national faith, the Church of England, likewise.

This reading shall end on Friday 4th September at 10PM BST.

1. No harassment

2. Be nice to each other

3. Report bad behaviour to u/Potatiuminside

4. Have fun!

To

Alter the form of the Declaration and Oath required to be made by the Sovereign on Accession; and for connected purposes.

I suppose this comment is more targeted at the very shallow secularisation narratives you seen on places like reddit like "People are less religious because they are more educated and have access to more information nowadays."

Often this comes from Americans, who associate religiosity with rural and low-income populations in their country.

In Australia and the UK, I think you see a different picture: for decades, the people who are the least educated in places like Australia and the UK (i.e. white/Anglo-Celtic people on public housing estates) seem to be profoundly irreligious.

Wouldn't we expect these populations to be the last bastions of religious belief if it's the case that "People just need to be educated"?

I suppose this is merely a report of my own personal experience, rather than an elaborately developed case (I am not a sociologist, and can't produce any data).

I am putting forward this post to generate discussion.

Bonus question: do you think the origins of religion and their teachings should be taught to students below the 10th class and such lessons must be taught to only those who specialise in such subjects ?

Secularisation (Accession Declaration) Bill

A01

Insert after "democratic process?" in 2(3): "Will you uphold the United Kingdom's status as an indissoluble nation and eternal home of all British people?", to read:

>President: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain and preserve the liberty and freedom of all peoples to exercise their faith and beliefs? Will you maintain and preserve the democratic right, and right of self determination, of all persons and realms you rule over? Will you respect and preserve the sovereignty of parliament and of the people, and not infringe or interfere in the democratic process? Will you uphold the United Kingdom's status as an indissoluble nation and eternal home of all British people?

I pointed out in another post at /r/ExMuslim about a Catholic priest calming down a Salvadorian family who wanted to kill their daughter who just lost their virginity and even convincing them to welcome her back with open arms and understanding (thus preventing any further violence against the girl as she came back home).

Now I chat with a Palestinian atheist on Discord (from a Maoronite background and pretty Westernized that he even admits back at home they'd stone him to death with laughing emoticon and joking tone). He states a big problem in the Arab world is the feuds between families. I asked doesn't Islam prevent that and why can't Imams stop both side. He says that any Imam who tries to but in would be killed and not just Imams but even a Grand Mufti can be targeted for violence. I was sincerely confused, pointing out the power priests have over Latin America so much that a single priest has ended blood feuds and bishops even both prevent and ed wars in countries across the region because of their influence. In addition before Pablo Escobar, priests even convinced drug cartels and other crime groups to back off their activities temporarily or at least lessen the the extent of their crimes. Priests have protected females and children from reprisals by gangs and other organizations. And thats not counting how grdy businessmen ended up donating to charity and improving working conditions because of a talk with a local priest.

He says the Imam is not seen in the same way as the priest is in strongly Catholic countries.

So I'd have t ask why? It seems even ultra radical fundamentalist conservative religious leaders have trouble trying to prevent feuds or or protect a teen boy who's being abused by a (hypocritically) drunk Arabic father. So much even far rightwing super conservative Grand Muftis have actually gotten killed for trying to set up peace talks at the cafe. And I don't even need to get into more Westernized and Secularized Imams who even get specifically targeted for Assassination by the PNA, Al Qaeda and other terrorists.

I thought these cultures esp Arabic nations are supposed to be fanatically devout? I get liberalised Muezzins and so on getting killed but how come even ultra conservative Mujtahids don't get followed and even get killed for **INFORMING local Muslims about verses from the Quran)?

I mean Latin America is very nasty, even reaching Arabic levels of oppression at times esp for the most conservative regions and ethnic groups
