power of rhetoric ECtHR cannot close their mouths

[@whoahorseywhoa4685]

Screw political correctness ....... ITALY DECLARE CHRISTIANITY THE STATE RELIGION .............. STAND YOUR GROUND .

[@BrianWestley]

+whoa horsey whoa -- why do you hate religious freedom and prefer the government to tell people what religion they ought to follow?

[@whoahorseywhoa4685]

Brian Westley Because religious freedom is being used against us ......and it is not that I hate it ....I hate that so many of our freedoms and being turned against us....... why give a foreign religion the edge ?

[@BrianWestley]

How is it religious freedom for the GOVERNMENT to push a preferred religion on other people's children? Religious freedom is when the government stays out of it.

+Brian Westley Freedom of religion doesn't mean to deny the Judeo-Christian roots of Western civilization. I, as a layman, I hope to continue to see the crucifix in italian schools and public buildings, but I fear that will not be so long.

[@Eleonora1960]

Still standing in our schools :), @@67claudius (and I am deeply lay, as you are...). I am Italian. And I am firmly convinced that Crucifix is part of our history and identity. I adore my multiethnical classes (I'm a teacher...), and no student, whatever his/her faith, feels offended by that presence. Young people are often much wiser than adults 💛
