Weezer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 It looks like right wing religion is on the move world wide. They are having a huge election in India and right wing Hinduism is making a push to make India a Hindu nation. Just what we need. Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Christians all trying to have more control over the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted April 16, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2019 Yes, and for the non religious is might be a time to stand up and be heard or risk losing your freedom to not believe openly. I'm given to understand China doesn't push a state religion... well unless 'do what we say and keep your head down' is a religion.... Here is an interesting article on the elections: http://theconversation.com/india-whats-at-stake-in-the-2019-elections-114648 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, well, they do religiously push communism, so there's that. And once you go through their re-education camps to pay for your sins, you will feel born again. Oh, and it does seem that the state is omnipresent, digitally speaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
older Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 While your topic isn't centered on one religion, here's a link to a recent column in the New York Times titled "How To Break the Republican Lock on God." The piece points out the hypocrisy of the religious right and how it might be countered. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/12/opinion/stacy-abrams-pete-buttigieg.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
