THE RELIGIOUS PROBLEM AND THE POLITIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE RISE OF BLIND FAITH ON THE WORLD

Religion,in the southern Catholic Countries of Europe,are a..."no subject matter";it's part of our culture,very similar to the "cartoon" that appears in the movies😕omething between superstition and paganism mixed with christianity,lots of saints figurines,women in black...the usual picture...People only turn to the church when they need:we even had a procession to get...rain!(even in this zone,green allover,the clima changes are fell,and don't rains for months who brought big forest fires...).Although, there are churches in all small villages (and towns and cities!),and the priests still get a big power,and the Catholic church organization,who have a huge economic power (...just consider the "last will offers" received all these centuries,from nobles,kings...and poor...,the monasteries,etc...),have a big piece of the health and assistance to the old and poor,replacing the State.And it means that,in the passed years of hard economic crises that we had,the catholic church regains a big importance in our society.And it has a big politic consequence,as his power grows among some of the most important issues of a community!...AND THAT'S WHAT WE MUST FIGHT TO KEEP RELIGION FAR FROM THE STATE,AND KEEP THE FREE AND MODERN SOCIETY WE HAD BUILT!
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO,AND JOINING THIS SITE IS A PART OF THIS (HARD!) FIGHT!****

there is no rise of blind faith. it was always high. what has risen is the boldness of those who want to legislate, execute and adjudicate religion (usually christianity) instead of keeping church and state separate. it's the power of religion that has risen, not religion itself. that's worse!
