Policy Clarification: on Religion

In the Policy Outline there has been a section dedicated to Religion. This section stated;

"We understand that people feel a need for a connection to the spiritual. We understand that there is more to life than pure economics. We favour the study of our ancient spiritual traditions, including the Pagan, Druidic, Odinist, Roman, Norse, Greek and other religions indigenous to Europe. We reject the dictatorial exploitative religions of the East. We will actively discourage the belief in the monotheistic religions originating from the Middle East, favouring instead those who are Euro-polytheistic or are not interested in pursuing any faiths. We recognise the harmful nature of organised Christianity, Judaism and Islam to the English nation and will make religion a matter of conscience for people to engage in in private. We will not tolerate organised globalist religion pushing its agenda in public. No Mosque, Synagogue, Sikh Temple, Church etc will be left to continue pushing the belief systems of Globalism.  For Christians, we will encourage the rejection of Protestantism, Catholicism and Unitarianism in favour of Orthodoxy, which we respect for its solidarity with the People. Buildings of outstanding architectural beauty such as Cathedrals and some of the more architecturally impressive churches, will be turned into centres of culture for the people.  We are Socialists. This means we believe in our Society. We are not liberals and we have no sympathy with 'political correctness' which is globalist treason hidden behind well-sounding slogans and fake smiles, and we will not allow decadent clergymen to use their pulpits to promote ideological policies which are harmful to the people.."

This section has now been revised to emphasise our belief in the importance of spirituality as an individual matter. We oppose those who use religion to impose their authority over others, but we do not oppose religious belief itself. The whole issue is a contentious one and we only continue to have a religious policy at all so as to make it clear that we do not follow the cult of atheism which is a trap so many Socialists fall into.
