Should Britain Become Secular

Yes.


Oh, you wanted more? I enjoy listening to both sides of the argument, so I will attach this video.

BBC One's debates are always enlightening, frustrating, and fair. We need to have such debates such as this in the USA. The Big Questions has weekly debates offering the public the views of multiple sides of any controversy. The question about should Britain become secular erodes into one side proclaiming that there should be no bias, united against any form of religious bigotry, and the side claiming that the state should infer god's existence and eventually fragments into their own disagreements on how this can be achieved or what god even is.

Other than the UK, the only other state with unelected religious representation is.... yes, Iran. It is patently absurd to have a majority non-religious state run in part by sinister virgins who proclaim to know precisely what a deity is and what he wants or doesn't want you to do. If they want a voice in government, they should run for parliament!

As the USA and France vie for the most secular state, both have highly different approaches. Now, that IS a good debate. Which system offers the most freedoms for people?
