Why would anyone care what politico has to say about the interests and claims of French authorities? Are French authorities somehow aligned with Atheism? Generally the French over-litigate the expression of Islam, as they like to oppress Islamic people and institutions in their colonial “adventures” as well as at home.
Politico is just such boot-licker fare, they’re honestly not worth posting.
As a European atheist - it is of interest. The report might shed light on things I’ve seen happen in my own country. Progressive ideals being rolled back in the face of religious pressure. People being silenced when they criticize religion. Religious extrajudicial executions.
Christianity is wrong. Islam is wrong. Judaism is wrong. I know this.
I am not French, but I feel a huge gratitude that they are championing my rights to be free from religion. It is freedom from religion that allows me to post this comment without fear.
According to many religions, my very thoughts are blasphemous. Religious texts either outright state that I should be killed, or deem me subhuman.
Organized religions are designed to infiltrate, spread, control and finally dominate. They’ve been around much longer than modern secular democracies. They mustn’t be underestimated.
