Religion in politics feeds division, secularists argue law is needed
Original: Just like in education any religion in politics just feeds division. Guidance is not sufficient to prevent it, law is re
A comment circulating on social media argues that religion in politics fuels division, drawing a parallel with education, and claims that guidance alone is insufficient — legislation is required to keep religion out of public policy. The remark links to the National Secular Society and taps into ongoing debates over secularism, humanism and the role of faith in government.
Why now: Secularism versus religion's role in politics is a recurring flashpoint, and the argument that law rather than guidance is needed reignites that debate.
