Right, Jan, we are NO religion and don't want to be. There never was a country run by atheists, while most of the countries still have or until recently had a STATE religion. The border between Flanders and the Netherlands was a purely religious one. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Pollard To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 2:35 PM Subject: [Mind's Eye] Re: Two questions
2009/1/13 Slip Disc <[email protected]> They CAN'T proselytize without, first, logically, declaring themselves a religion. < Pat Really, though, it is a "Non-Religion". Atheism just needs to be recognized as such. Would a country be better run by a administration comprised completely of Atheists or would it present a condition of reverse bias? You cannot infer anything about a country run by atheists since the collective term is meaningless in this context. It's like saying "imagine a country run exclusively by people who like tea". Philosophically there's no central, unifying, goal shared by people who like tea.
