One of the key reasons that I became involved in a national political party is that I believe that religion and politics need to be kept separate. Unfortunately, in Northern Ireland, religion and politics appear to be one and the same. Jeffrey Donaldson wrote to me recently and described himself as a “Christian politician”. Hmm.
I’m delighted that the European Humanist Federation is mounting a campaign to encourage voters from across the EU to ask their candidates a simple question:
Do you agree that religion and politics should be kept separate in the EU?
You can find out more about the campaign here. Please write to the candidate(s) you are considering voting for (regardless of party-political affiliation) and ask them to answer. Feel free to forward the replies to me or submit comments here.
