Quebec continues to push Christianity through banning other religion's requirements.
Let's be clear, this is its own form of Christian Nationalism, just under the guise of "Secularism". The message is clear: Jews and Muslims out of Quebec.
"The purpose of Capitol Ministries is to transform public officials in 'disciples' who will turn founder Ralph Drollinger’s very conservative interpretation of scripture into public policy, such as his belief that the Bible mandates support for right-wing economic, social, environmental, immigration, and criminal justice policies."

People ForChrist vs Satan: A Look At The Bible Studies Being Taught On Capitol HillRight-wing pastor Ralph Drollinger reveals what he is teaching during the Bible study sessions he leads on Capitol Hill.
"An article published in the British Journal of Sociology of Education has examined how Christianity has 'remained privileged' in both religious education (RE) and collective worship in schools in England. It says current practices relating to religion in schools 'fail to mirror growing non/religious diversity'."

Secularism is needed to limit the imposition of religious beliefs on people who don't share them. Your rights should not be restricted by someone else's religious beliefs.

American Atheists · Atheists ask Court to Defend Workers’ First Amendment RightsWashington, D.C. — American Atheists, a national civil rights organization, filed an amicus brief today in Catholic Charities v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in this case could determine, for the first time, whether nonprofit organizations doing charity work motivated by religious belief must be exempted from paying unemployment taxes. In Wisconsin, the state labor commission denied an application for exemption submitted by Catholic Charities, whose activities were deemed “not religious.” The state Supreme Court agreed with that assessment, finding the organization “did not proselytize, did not conduct worship services, religious outreach, or religious education.” Catholic Charities contends that Wisconsin — and numerous other states with similar unemployment insurance programs — are violating its free exercise rights. The nonprofit is demanding that its employees be excluded from critical government benefits, like unemployment insurance protections, solely because they work for a faith-based organization. American Atheists, which advocates for the separation of church and state, disagrees. “Empathy knows no creed, and charities around the country employ millions of people who each have their own reasons for doing charitable work. Their rights must be protected,” said Geoffrey Blackwell, Legal Director for American Atheists. “For example, if the Supreme Court takes Catholic Charities side in this case, health care workers in places like Durango, Colorado, where the only hospital within two hours is run by a religious organization, would be denied government unemployment protections solely because the hospital where they work has religious reasons for providing health care. That is a situation no American should face.” In the amicus brief filed today, American Atheists maintains the Establishment Clause rightfully and forcefully prohibits the government from using its taxation powers to coerce professions of religious belief, and that Catholic Charities is, therefore, violating the First Amendment by seeking a tax exemption based solely on a profession of religious belief. “The legal theory Catholic Charities is presenting here echoes the very same violations that shocked American colonists and prompted them to ratify our First Amendment,” stated Blackwell. “The Supreme Court has repeatedly found that excluding people from government programs, like unemployment insurance, based on religion alone is unconstitutional.” “Nonprofit employees are public servants, and whether we’re religious or not, we are all motivated by a desire to make a positive impact on our communities,” said Nick Fish, President of American Atheists. “It’s unconscionable that an organization like Catholic Charities would try to deny their hardworking employees public benefits simply because it’s religious.” You can read American Atheists’ amicus brief here. A decision is expected from the U.S. Supreme Court by late June.

Two portraits of Christianity in America:
"Christian nationalists only want to teach the good stuff – the biblical passages about stoning gay people, butchering heretics, and commanding women to submit to their husbands. They ignore, or outright reject, the parts of the Bible that are suspiciously liberal, like caring for the poor, welcoming the stranger, loving your enemies, and the meek inheriting the earth. That woke stuff has no place in their version of Christianity."

3/3 His last illustration Charb drew for the january issue of #charliehebdo. It was published by the surviving members. It made reference to the fact that there lately had not been any terrorist attacks in France. The caricature showed an armed jihadist fighter referring to a customary French phrase: "Wait! ... we still have until the end of January to present our wishes."
As France marks 10 years since an Islamist attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper, Angela Diffley takes a look at France's long history of permitting the mocking of religions, and why the country has no laws against blasphemy.

French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo unveiled a special edition featuring a God-themed cartoon contest on Monday to mark 10 years since a deadly attack on its offices by Islamist gunmen. The front-page shows a cartoon celebrating the atheist paper's existence with the caption "Indestructible!" while four inside pages contain the results of the caricature competition to mock God and religious leaders.

Not likely from the man who created 
his own version of the Bible 
with the supernatural bits removed!
"Jefferson's condensed composition excludes all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels that contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages that portray Jesus as divine."
An old friend of mine, Kevin Brown, died but I only heard about it yesterday. It was really unexpected. I knew he had cancer but last I had heard he was in remission. Yes this Kevin Brown:
He was a tireless volunteer for CFIC Ottawa and helped put on this city's only skeptical/atheist conference https://centreforinquiry.ca/eschaton-2012/
In fact this is where I first met Kevin.
CBC36-year driver's licence mixup upending Ottawa man's life | CBC NewsKevin Brown says his driver's licence has been erroneously suspended because Ontario's Ministry of Transportation has mistaken him for a 'putative' Kevin Brown whose licence was suspended more than 30 years ago.
Let that sink in.....
