VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Jude|DATE|1364807344|CONTENT|Apart from Alan Billing&#039;s need to prefix the word &quot;secularism&quot; with the word &quot;aggressive&quot; I found myself agreeing with much of what he said (as opposed to what Carey had said ). Although I suspect that Billing&#039;s acceptance of Christians no longer being top dog comes from necessity rather than anything else. All religions in positions of power have a malign impact on those who don&#039;t follow their precepts. Which is why secular governments, which tolerate religions as long as they don&#039;t infringe human rights, are the best way forward for peaceful and plural societies. |EMAIL|jmlivesley@yahoo.co.uk|IP-ADDRESS|87.114.63.94|MODERATIONFLAG|
