That is an awful concept, and it flies in the face of my secular beliefs. Secularism, in my opinion, isn't a mandate to believe a particular philosophy. I respect peoples freedom to think crazy and bizarre things that are unsupported by the evidence, and I wouldn't live in a country that forced a worldview, even a worldview I accept as good. It may sound hypocritical because, on the one hand, I spend so much time trying to convince people that their ideology is messed up and yet, on the contrary, I claim I wouldn't live in a country that mandated my secular beliefs. It's a want vs an instance. I want people to be more rational, I want people to think more critically, I want people to embrace science, but I'm not going to live in a society that would mandate how people choose to think or feel.

I don't think countries can win a war of ideas. Totalitarian regiems in any form are bad, but how would you feel about a democracy where the majority outlaws a religion?

respect>fear. i want to win theist over with reason. Sam Harris 2020!

I wouldn’t want want to live under those conditions. I agree with atheist and Bikersurfer: Secular humanism, and the freedom to think what we want.

im against it, you should only fight bad ideas with good ones and neither affiliation should have a totalitarian strangle hold on thought and conduct
