Then it's worthless if not practiced
its not a simple topic tho...perhaps it may be be beyond youLets keep it simple. You're alluding to a cultural hierarchy. I'm just wondering where you would place them in relation to one another.

The act of not practicing it is an act of force in itself though...
I'm not sure if that should be the basis for not having freedom of religion.

No it's not especially if the implementation of that act is something that allows you to claim superiority over other civilizations or countries.

Religion was meant to oppress people after all I suppose...
This is very problematic.

Well you don't get to tell people who/what their oppressors are (VERY WHITE CHARACTERISTIC) You are not some supreme arbiter on that issue. Just live and let live.

Nasser mocked theocrats in Egypt who wanted to institute Burka mandates.
Some of y'all need to do more research on arab leaders themselves.
They know the harm of unrestricted islam.

I personally despise it and find it absurd, but I don't see how the government has the right to dictate clothing styles outside of the Military and other government based uniforms. This is strictly from an American view of our laws, I know Europe is different.
That being said, I also think people have the right to request those wearing it to unveil for safety and identification reasons. If I'm doing a business transaction with someone, I should be able to identify who it is I am engaging with.
Finally, from a moral stand point, this type of clothing is meant for control and subjugation of women by men. There are often threats of violence or harm behind wearing these articles of clothing. This is intolerant and should not be accepted by society, even if we have to accept it by law.

What about what I wrote? The gist of it is that you don''t get to tell people if religion is or is not oppressive. Then while writing I thought about this type of condescending behavior relevant and made the news this past week hence the edit:

Yea, we do actually. A lot of oppression has happened under the banner of religion, and continues to. Secularism is one of the most important ideas ever conceived by man and we must maintain it.
