And we should let them. People can choose in what to believe in and we shouldnt disallow it. The point is secularism. Church and state should be separate. When organized religion is kept out of public schools, with time, religion slowly fades away as there is less need for it.

Is there data to support this? As much as I would love that to be true, I’ve got my doubts. Most religions are not taught in western schools. Despite that, parallel societies are established where a specific religion is fostered. Children are sent to private religious schools and the religion is uphold by these communities.
(This is not an argument against secularism. I’m indeed in favour of keeping proselytizing subjects out of school. Just questions the effect on the evolution of religious demographics.)
You are correct to question it. I honestly have not looked into whether it is causality or just correlation. Based on my own observation, being from a historically catholic region: churchgoing has faded vastly in 30 years, state and public school is secular.
Obvously, you are going to have communities where religion is fostered and the culture preserved. I dont really see a problem in it though. We cant really expect it to go away, nor should we work towards forcing it to go away. An example may be pagan religions which were forcefuly brought down more than a thousand years ago, yet have not been rooted out even today as neo pagan variants are poping back up.
It is dumb, its propaganda. Theres very little artistic merit here… its just too on the nose. I mean, do we really need arrows pointing at everything stating the obvious?
Yeah, I’m kinda tired of seeing content like that even if I agree with main sentiment.
Low quality political content is low quality even if it’s about polices I support, being separation of church and state.

Not disagreeing, image is just kinda dumb

Yes, mainly because religion in the government is degrading rational thought.
