Gotta agree with this .... or most of it .... as long as it doesn't rule out individuals having personal spiritual beliefs which they can use to govern how they live ... but it's personal, not institutionalized .... I particularly agree with the last part. There is probably more evidence to support a belief in alien visitations; and there is more likelihood of their being other life in the universe, than there is of some omnipotent being, whatever you wish to call him. Ironically, you run little risk of being ridiculed if you claim you have had a vision of god; but will be dubbed a fool if you claim you have seen visitors from anothe planet (tho' why any alien life form would want to visit this screwed up place, I don't know)
In general, this seems so outrageous that it seems like someone is having us on ... seems like the sort of story that should come out on April 1. What the hell is happening over there .... I think "reasonable accomodation" in your country has gone way too far. But that's just an observation from an alien
