Social norms in modern day countries are still influenced by religious values and freedom inhibiting laws such as:
1) Laws against public nudity
2) Laws against polygamy
3) Laws against marijuana (no reason to differentiate it among other stimulants such as alcohol and tobacco)
4) Laws against euthanasia.
5) Laws against homosexuality
6) Laws against choice of pregnancy termination
There are many more such laws, especially in Shariah governed countries such as Pakistan, where blasphemy is an offense punishable by death.
I want to start this thread as a kind of dream of a state governed by reason alone. Let's discuss the merits of laws currently enforced and laws we would like to enforce, and how we would regulate laws which allow euthanasia and abortion.
What would be our short term goals, our long term goals, our contribution to the world at large and our political system?
The reason I bring this up is because I find that atheists and agnostics tend to agree much easier with one another and if sufficient reasonable support can be given for anything, it tends to be accepted unilaterally within the community.
Maybe we can convince the UN to set apart our own little promised land somewhere some time in the future! :yes:
