Benji 20,113 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I mostly agree with this. I think there needs to be exceptions for certain wings of public offices like those that offer support to religious people but generally, the state needs to be separate from religion and that should really apply to those working for the state.

holy scheisse 22,903 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hmmm... i dont know that i agree with it. what an interesting controversy. because i wouldnt want to tell somebody they couldnt wear the clothing item theyve always been wearing. i thought this meant like images of the star of david, jesus cross, etc. That seems to impact christians the least because a cross necklace could easily continue to be worn hidden lol.

But it is separate! wearing a cross necklace does not bring christianity into government. A woman wearing a hijab working for government, does not bring Islam into government. Defining a Muslim woman by her hijab is wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that interesting, it happens in france all the time. Remember they did not allow women with hijab to go to the beach? also, in france wearing a hijab is kinda illegal in certain circumstances. Quebec is connected to France so..

I guess I personally find it interesting bc i used to be a person that would have thought this was a good idea, bc i personally believe religion should be eradicated from government in literally all ways. but i noticed that now that im older id much rather not take any objection with people practicing their religion, just cause i wish it didnt exist lol. its not like anyone is harming anybody by wearing religious clothing articles.

Yes exactly! I understand if they ban religion if its used or practiced. I understand if someone prays during their job. I understand if someone covers their face. I understand removing all religion from the work place but, wearing a hijab is not a religion practice and does not interfere or used in the job. Hindu men and women also wear "hijab" and they cant remove it, they should be allowed to work for government. Same to wearing a cross or anything other religion clothing. Im a Muslim and I do not believe in Hijab at all, many sects in islam dont. None of my family wear hijab. But that does not mean I should ban other people from doing so.

River 127,328 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 As an atheist it always disturbs me to see a worker with a cross or when they say god bless you or things like that or if the worker is a Jew and knows that I’m Israeli they start to talk about the religion and Jewish stuff.. I think it’s time to understand that not everyone is religious and public places should be neutral. Religious people shouldn’t be above others or get a special treatment, it’s pretty simple..

gumzy3000 7,898 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I’m pretty divided on this. On one hand I think people should be able to practice their religion freely without persecution but on the other hand, I think people who work for the government should never bring religion into their workplace. But this just applies to religious symbolism. It’s not like these people were forcing their religion down peoples throats. Like is wearing a cross or hijab really that bad? I don’t think those symbols symbolize ethics or morals. You can be good or bad regardless of the religion you follow. So I guess I just answered my own question. My verdict: This is actually a really bad move from the government of Quebec. trolly troll troll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it disturb you if someone wears a cross or if they talk to you about Jewish things? Are they forcibly converting you? If not and they are a good person, why should it matter what they wear or what they talk to you about (you can ignore this and move on with your life) trolly troll troll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone wearing a cross or hijab is not asking for special treatment lol You are the one asking for special treatment for atheists to ban what they dont like.

mauvais 0 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I don't see the harm of head coverings. Laws like this just target and further minoritize people who are already minorities in the government, public services and schools. I don't think this is an effort to assimilate people but to purge them from the public sphere when schools and police departments, etc should reflect their communities.

To tell me god bless you when you know that I'm an atheist, it's disrespecting. There's this idea that we always need to respect religious people, but atheists don't get respect back. It's easy to say "move on with your life" but you know that it's not like that in reality lol So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
