You believe that a society governed by religious authorities will lead to a morally upright and spiritually fulfilled population.
Clericalism is a political ideology that advocates for the involvement of religious institutions, particularly the clergy, in the governance and public affairs of a state. It is based on the belief that religious authorities should have direct influence or control over political decisions, often in the form of a theocracy or ecclesiocracy. This ideology is not confined to a specific religion and can be seen in various forms across different religious contexts.
The history of clericalism dates back to ancient times when religious leaders often held significant political power. In many…

If community projects had to align with religious tenets, how might your willingness to contribute change?
@9L82MVJ2mos2MO
No change as long as I wasn't expected to subscribe to someone else's beliefs
@9L82H3B2mos2MO
That depends on how inclusive it intended to be and actually was - I think that most religious teachings boil down to love, kindness, respect and the power of community which are all obviously good but they are so often weaponised and politicised which can create dangerous division rather than cohesion

Would you pursue a different career path if doing so allowed you to break free from the constraints of a religiously regulated job market?
@9KX9C8G2mos2MO
I'm not sure. All I know is everyone has the right to switch career paths for whatever reason they have whenever they like.

How do you envision your social life evolving in a community where social norms are based on religious edicts?
@9K8XHKP3mos3MO
It would become more restricted. I would be against it.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might the dreams you pursue change if they needed to align with spiritual leadership's vision of an ideal society?
@9JCCWGD4mos4MO
People would not be able to disagree with religious matters i guess?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Do you think scientific advancements would progress at the same rate if they were subject to religious approval?
@9HX6HPD4mos4MO
No it would not while scientists and doctors can be religious the world of religion of belief deals with the theological and theological principles are not tested in the same manner as scientific ones. The idea that science should be dictated by Clerics is nonsense, Science is based on the evidence of what can be proved, and faith is evidence based on belief and the unseen. Faith is a personal matter between an individual and what they believe science is fact and can be evidenced as such.

If religious rules governed entertainment, how would that shape your leisure time?
The church should be separate from politics, there should be no influence of faith over matters regarding the public. Not everyone is catholic/Christian or religious, morals and beliefs will clash, plus I personally do not gave faith as I have witnessed the rife corruption and abuse of children that are constantly swept under the rug. That alone should be enough for them not to be trusted
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Should the morality taught by religions be the foundation for our legal system?
@9H34GNP6mos6MO
No it should not, religion should never be the basis of anything
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If religious figures were in charge of censorship, how do you think this would affect your access to global cultures?
@9HRTJ3Z5mos5MO
It would be very bias towards whichever religion. Therefore religion should not dictate censorship.

@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What would finding personal fulfillment look like in a world where religious officials defined the parameters of happiness?
@9LFR9JW1mo1MO
Separation of church in state is my stance. What has been done with religion as an excuse in ancient past times, should not be a modern concern, especially when people have changed so much in all those years. We don't want another crusade or to be dictated by an age-old fantasy book on how to rule our lives. We should not need it, we are smart enough without it, and common sense, care and consideration for others should not seek validation in the bible, or other religious texts.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you think your aspirations for personal growth would align with the expectations of a religiously run education system?
@9KX7N3T2mos2MO
They wouldn't. No education system should be subject to religious dogma
