Mailund on the Internet

Ok, another quick link to Gene Expression (just because I know that the Danish readers just might find it interesting): Denmark, a society with God (sort of).

I thought it would be informative if I looked in the World Values Survey at differences in attitudes and opinions in regards to religion when comparing Denmark, the United States and Great Britain. The last as an outgroup which I presumed (rightly I would judge after looking at the data) as somewhere between the United States and Denmark when it comes to religion.

I don’t want to turn this into a religion blog — I would be ranting about cartoons all the time (I am Danish, after all) — but just after I posted the atheism talk by Dawkins, I saw this post at the skeptical alchemist: Is moderate Islam a lie? (part I)

Now, before you start threatening my life for insulting the religion of peace (and by the way, Islam does not mean “peace” but “submission”, just thought I’d clear that up for you) let me make it clear that  Islam is not being picked on in particular here.  It is just the religion discussed in the post I spotted.

I would like all religions to get out of my face.  Islam annoys me a lot these days, because a lot of muslims refuse to make religion a private matter.  I don’t care what you believe.  Go ahead and worship Jehova, Allah, Santa or Zeus, but stop trying to force your beliefs on me!  Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion, damn it!

I’ll stop my ranting now.  I’ve already spent more time on religion than it really deserves…
