then pragmatic is a better term to use
The way I view it, when making a decision I act as an atheist simply because when you let your religion influence that, it can cloud the results.
For example, if there was a vote on state religion,
You let your lack of religion influence that as well
On one hand I practice my religion,
However I would act as an atheist in that moment.
And vote for no state religion.
ergo throw away your morals and become based
If state religion allows everyone to be happier
then do it
if banning a state religion allows everybody to be happier than u do it
Doesn't seem like a wise thing to me.
you dont need to be an atheist or religious person to know what is based
State religions,
Historically lead to really fucked up stuff.
Taken out of context.
If you take Islam from the 1000s and apply it today's standard
"holy shit, TAXES ON NON-MUSLIMS?"
"WHAT THE FUCK GUYS"
"WHAT??? PUBLIC STONING ON SINFUL PEOPLE?"
Like Plato once said, different forms of government exist on different forms of context.
And under modern religious law Saudi Arabia still hangs gay people.
And under religious law, typically bad things happen.
Only because our context change.
I would suggest culture based governments,
Not religious based governments.
those are called ideologically-based government
and i rather not have another hitler or stalin again
Not what I mean.
Stalin was too based for his country
Basically cultures function different.
For example,
Among Europeans,
Democracy is fairly popular.
But among my people,
It leads to massive problems of corruption.
Because since we have such large and disrpoportionate families,
np
One family can dominate the entire nation.
