Religion, what is it and how should we relate to it?

@bug1

Tax religion, dont teach it to kids.

@Simon

Excellent example of an extreme left wing Ideal just as extreme as the right.

Ah, superstition. How is taxing superstition “extreme”?

@Simon

No evidence that religion itself is harmful

ooh yes there is.

@Simon

Restriction on personal and parental liberties better have a damn good reason and “religion is bad” doesn’t cut it.

See all the links above.

@Simon

Charity status should be attainable as long as it covers an organisation doing solely charitable work, and the charity work needs to be done in a non-discriminatory way available to all and other guidelines to make sure the religious ideals are not forced upon anyway who is not willing to accept them.

My bold. Children aren’t given a choice. Again, see links above. I fail to see how promoting any superstition can be considered charitable, and worthy of tax relief. It’s called “faith” because there is no evidence.

Bring on the 21st century

… wait.
