From my knowledge, its seems that our govt is afraid to take
stand on the issue of religion.
To me, if I am singapore leader, or world leader, I would
straight away promote atheism simply because it is plain obvious
truth. The govt always tell us the importance of honesty, fairness,
justice, hardworking and also tell us to be more and more
intelligent.
On the other hand, when it comes to religion, it becomes a taboo
subject, better to be swept under the carpet. We are being told to
learn and appreciate other religions and create interfaith groups
that focus on peace towards society.
This method, to me, is inefficient. I shall say these, religion,
are false, and as human being, i really cannot stand false ideals
and concept. They just lead to more trouble to our world. I cannot
believe that our world today is still stuck in the rut and that no
people of power, which are the state leaders from any countries,
are not really telling the truth to its people.
Do you know which state in the world, where the govt takes an
strong stance towards the issue of religion? LIke they will
say,
" we, the country of so-and-so, do not believe in religion, and
we seriously urge our fellow people to do likewise too, although,
you all have a final say in what you want to believe, because we
dun wanna to take away your freedom of choice."
"Nevertheless, atheism is damn important, so we hope you people
are all atheists, really"
