Religion should be kept separate from politics. A solution to ‘militant’ secularism vis-à-vis ‘militant’ religious beliefs. It’s no brainer
Governmental events when religious ceremonies & prayers may be appropriate include royal marriage, remembrance Sunday, coronation, state funerals, etc. Prayers to unproven higher authority (like God, idols) are nonsensical to non-believers of other faiths (including atheists, agnostics) & cause divisions. Invoking the name of God & explanations involving the spiritual world on complex issues can hinder the seeking of explanations & solutions from a scientific & logical standpoint. In Middle Ages, the earth was believed to be flat & centre of the Universe. King Henry VIII broke away from Catholicism to avoid Pope’s wide ranging interference, influence, jurisdiction, pronouncement over wide-ranging affairs like politics, sciences, arts, laws, marital affairs, customs, etc. Britain is a secular society & religion should be practised as a matter of private individual faiths & preferences, not to be regarded as the ultimate prescription in laws, life, the universe & everything for society.
