State and Religion
Democracy is a sacred word that must be followed by all nations. This is always correlated with human right issues. In its historical journey people went through many ideas and finally found democracy as the best choice for the interest of all citizens. This concept offer equality, men’s dignity, freedom of expression, freedom of religion , the right of property, and any other basic rights that has been recognized in The Universal Declaration of human right ,1948. This declaration come from a very long process which is in the end produce human civilization for the time being and regarded as the highest humanity achievement. Violating the values of humanity means to draw back human civilization itself into pre historical era.
Religious affiliation is a very basic right. People can not be forced neither by the state nor other men to believe in things that they do not want to. This is a matter of faith and in faith we found trust. In my opinion trust means something that unquestionable that is what we call as faith. Feeling comfortable with certain religious affiliation is an example that men could not explain, even though most people get their religion from their parents.
State is supposed to be out off this thing. Nevertheless, it does not mean that the government does not have any involvement with the religiousity. Freedom it self always have implication to each other. Men’s freedom is always in a boundary of other’s freedom. In my opinion this is the area that belongs to the government. Guaranteeing every one’s right and protecting them from being tortured by others in the name of law is the duty of the government as well as giving prosperity to all of its citizens.
In conclusion, the best way is to recognize which is our duties and which is our right. Put them all in the constitution as a convention. This is one way to remind each other in living in pluralistique society. Respect each other is something to be developed and not taken for granted. This is how civilization means something in the history of human life.
