Religion? Really?
And so we've had an article about a Protestant presence in eUK. A group where you can 'meet other Christians', and which will work towards an 'open and harmonious society' in eUK.
Although I'm no atheist - being Roman Catholic myself - I am slightly disturbed at the thought of any kind of religious presence within eUK or The New World for that matter.
I would firstly like to point out that saying the group is a place where you can 'meet other Christians' while also promoting it as a group which will work towards an 'open and harmonious society' doesn't quite add up. eUK is not a specific religion. There is no proof that the majority of our residents are Christians (let alone Protestants), and therefore if the group puts its main aim at working towards an 'open and harmonious society' then I believe it should not be of a particular faith, but multi faith (though this, if we're honest, still isn't necessary).
I just simply don't understand the need for such a group. eUK should be a place where things we have in common are emphasized, not the differences between us pointed out by having such things as religious groups. Yes they say anyone is welcome to join, but lets face it, unless you're protestant you're pretty unlikely to join a Protestant group.
While I clearly disagree with the very idea of the group, I also support Democracy, and the rights to create such a group. I would just urge the creators to consider whether by making such a group, they are potentially scuppering their own aims immediately.
I will be interested to hear other responses and views.
Please could I just note that these are not the views of my party - the MDU - but soley my own opinions.

Two things Tommy.
One - The Protestant Religion is a way for people to get to know each other. That's not a bad thing.
Two - We're not trying to separate people, we're trying to unite them. You can meet other Christians and still be harmonious - there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm not necessairly a Londoner, but I decided to live in London. I'm not necessairly a communist, yet I joined the PCP. People can join things that they don't necessairly believe in. It's called learning and experiencing something new, whilst making friends.
There's nothing wrong with the Protestant Religion Organisation, unless people decide to make a fuss about it and declare it 'unnecessary'. It isn't necessary. But it's good. And that's all that matters.
