If I would return to be a Deist I would be a democratic anarchist. I would never acknowledge falsely in power that doesn't exist but is made up by people who manipulate others.
You are right Iran worships their government and it keeps them from truth.
ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just when I think you are getting it, you post this!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO..................
Chinese communists, AS A PARTY, not all the citizens, but enough, WORSHIP THE PARTY. Saudi Arabia is worship of the Sunni version of Islam. Israel has far too many whom worship Bibi Nuttyfuckwho. America has far too many who worship white Christian Nationalism and giant orange Guerrilla Trump too.
WORSHIP IS WORSHIP.
Lots of atheists worship Che, like theists. Che is the asshole who lead to Castro's Cuba. Other atheists like Christian Senator Paul Ryan, worship the economics of the late atheist Ayn Rand. I am no fan of either as an atheist.
Point is, don't point to Iran and not look at Saudi Arabia. Don't point to Jews and not look at Muslims. Don't point to Christians and not look at Muslims. I don't give even my own country, or my fellow atheists a pass.
You are still trying to point to Allah in all this. So?
If government is to protect all, it would seem absurd to infect it with sectarian divisiveness. If you would not want to live as a Muslim under Iran's version, guess what? I would not want to live in Iran as an atheist. But a Shiite conversely would not want to live in Saudi Arabia for the same reason I as an atheist also would not want to live in Saudi Arabia.
Point is, in the west, we try, not always to the same degree, but in the west, we try to keep religion out of government so that we dont end up with an Iran. But we also don't allow one party monopolies either, so we don't end up with a North Korea or China.
If you want to believe everything leads to your God, we cant't stop you from having that personal belief. I am sure Christians like Catholic Lady and Alpha Male here would claim the Christian God allows government too.
I'd say that seems to be counter productive with all those divisions if we want to live in peace. I think when it comes to government religion needs to be left at the door. I don't mean outlawed, just left in the private sector.
