FOR NON-MUSLIMS: What policy?

[GARY]

Okay. It just seemed a bit... well, extreme. Needless to say, I disagree with that post. Tolerance in all its forms is a great boon to society.

I agree that tolerance is a great thing. I also think that no matter what system is in place, as long as different cultures and religions are mixed, there will be major problems. No system works perfectly. Just some better than others. The system I mentioned won't work all that well either, just better than the others (in my opinion). As long as people are free to move to where they can enjoy there own beliefs, over time they will do that. Things would get better.
It is only an opinion.

Voted light secular (based on your definitions given you your post, though I may slightly disagree with them).

You are allowed to worship whatever you are and ideally no religion is given favoritism or support by the govt.

Greetings,

I voted for 'secular' before reading the rather confusing definitions given by the OP.

A 'secular' society as I understand it is closer to the definition given under 'multi-faith' rather than the one given under 'secular'. And Britain doesn't count as an example of what is described as 'multi-faith', since Anglicanism is the official religion of the UK.

Whew! How confusing was that?

Essentially, I believe the government should ignore religion totally unless or until it starts causing hostility to develop between people (which, let's face it, it has done for centuries).

In an ideal world, a person's religion would matter to another person no more than their star sign or their favourite vegetable.

I didn't vote. The question confused me.

But I don't want any mix of religion and state.

The issue of "reasonable accomodation" was a huge topic here in Quebec (Canada) last summer. I was more than sickened by what people said and thought.

On this issue, I am a major hippy: live and let live! We all come from different places, with different views on religion, different concepts of culture and roles. I think we should embrace our differences as long as it doesn't harm anyone. Go ahead, wear a hijab, turban, wig, saree, big gold chains in combination with a button-down shirt, baggy pants, bandana, baseball cap, nun outfit, etc etc etc. As long as you respect everyone else's right to practice their religion as they so wish, then I see no problem.

I do realize this is a eutopian way of seing things, but I can still dream and try to set a good example.
