In recent years I have been majorly pissed off by the number of people in this country and around the world who are turning back to more conservative forms of religion and in doing so, their practice are justifying their behavior to be more antisocial, homophobic, misogynistic and in my view, attempting to brand criticism of religion as racism. Not just with the Muslims (which I believe many need to stop complaining about racism and not being able to integrate when their beliefs and practices are incompatible with a Western society), but even in the Jewish community, more people are adopting an Orthodox lifestyle and popping out the young ones and the attitudes toward non-Jewish people are becoming more and more racist and exclusionary. We have Hillsong supporting Liberal and Family First candidates at a dangerous pace and the separation of church and state is at stake. The Catholic Church, always trying to pose as the underdog (but which is still the no. 1 religion in the country) is still controlling the dominant right-wing of the Labor party and I'm not looking forward to the attitudes towards the gay community and abortion clinics during the World Youth Day.
The definition of a family, in nearly all traditional religious discriminates against same sex couples, marriage and relationships, which discriminates against in a range from shunning to executions.
Modern religions are promoted everywhere as being as godly whilst they smear antitheist and agnostic ideologies such as atheism and Humanism, which have never been promoted by the government nearly as much as the major religions. Why do we have hardly any non-religious public schools? Why do they still teach religion in public schools in NSW? Why are religious festivals used as a sermon for intolerance towards people who do not choose to believe in a concept that has no proof (God)? Why does a politician have to have a religion in order to get into one of the major parties in parliament (Beazley, Howard, Abbott, Costello, Downer, Rudd, Danby, Andrews, Bishop, Roxon, Burke, Cadman, Coonan, Baird, Gash, just to name a few)?
If secular humanism is taught in schools, it may help to remove the prejudices and bigotry against such social groups and weaken religious practices (not necessarily beliefs) that endanger the way we treat people, animals and our environment.
