EbonyBranch Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Militant secularism a threat to religion, says Warsi Britain is under threat from a rising tide of "militant secularisation", a cabinet minister has warned. Religion is being "sidelined, marginalised and downgraded in the public sphere", Conservative co-chairwoman Baroness Warsi wrote in an article for the Daily Telegraph. The irony is; in a non-secular, Christian government I doubt we'd have a Cabinet Minister who was Muslim and female. If she's worried about secularism she should step down.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you are wrong, so, so wrong. Minority religions thrive in Christian country's. How would a Muslim, or someone from any other faith, become a cabinet minister in a truly/strictly secular country?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygardener Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 they may do now, but for much of christianity's history they didn't But they do now. So that's surely the relevant bit in terms of policy priorities now. You know, same reason we don't inter Germans and Italians anymore, the moments passed and all that.

EbonyBranch Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 But they do now. So that's surely the relevant bit in terms of policy priorities now. You know, same reason we don't inter Germans and Italians anymore, the moments passed and all that. The question is: why has the moment passed? The answer is: because of secularism's restraining influence on religious government. There are still vestiges of the old religiosity, for example; our monarch has to be an Anglican and can't be a Catholic. That's not a secular rule, it's a legacy from before the rise of active secularism. If Warsi doesn't like secularism then she should be true to her views and step down.

It seems aggressive atheists are on a par with their religious extremist 'brethren'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Laws that are only there to protect and promote Christianity, will also protect other religions too... be careful of the red tape the religious delusionists are about to wrap us all in!

She is quite right, the rabid atheists are as much raving fundamentalists as religious totalitarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
