Human Rights QUIZ TIME For Christians, Muslims, Atheists....everyone by deezzle(m): 8:21am On Jun 07, 2017 |
HUMAN RIGHTS AND RELIGION Over the centuries, we have extended human rights but this has sometimes been in the face of fierce opposition from religious groups. I have devised a simple test to see how religion affects people's attitudes to human rights. Please answer the 10 questions below. Award yourself 1 point for each question you answer YES to, and no points if you answer NO. Then comment below and tell us your SCORE and your RELIGION or lack thereof. 1 Should we be free to change our religion or have no religion? 2 Should we be free to publicly criticise any religion or belief system? 3 Should adult gay couples be free to live together openly? 4 Should it be a crime to have non-consensual sex with women captured during a war? . 5 Should everyone have equal rights in law regardless of their religion or lack of religion? 6 Should it be common assault, punishable by law, if a man strikes his wife? 7 Should men & women have equal legal rights in divorce? 8 Should men and women have equal legal rights in inheritance? 9 Should men and women be treated equally in a court of law? 10 Should men and women have equal access to primary and higher education? . I suspect religious background has more effect on attitudes to human rights than age, education, income or gender. Of course, to test this hypothesis I would need a large sample and to ask more demographic questions. So I can't test my hypothesis but I will predict that most atheists will score 10; Christians will have a slightly lower average score than atheists and Muslims will lag some way behind Christians. To see if I'm right, take the test! To get you started, I'm an atheist and I scored 10. Bill Flavell 1 Like |

I stand for people to be able to make all the choices they wish to make without religious compulsion of any kind. That is what my bible teaches. |

YES.. Freedom of choice. NO... The world doesnt revolve around your own religion/belief so you have no moral justification to criticise someone else's religion/belief. You were not born with a religion,you were born into one YES.. Same way straight couples are allowed to live together openly. Equality. 4 Should it be a crime to have non-consensual sex with women captured during a war?YES.. Also for men captured in war as well . 5 Should everyone have equal rights in law regardless of their religion or lack of religion?YES. We are humans first,religion is secondary 6 Should it be common assault, punishable by law, if a man strikes his wife?YES.. Also when a woman strikes her husband 7 Should men & women have equal legal rights in divorce?YES 8 Should men and women have equal legal rights in inheritance?YES 9 Should men and women be treated equally in a court of law?YES YES. 9/10 Traditionalist / Free-thinker |
