You believe that a society governed by religious authorities will lead to a morally upright and spiritually fulfilled population.
Clericalism is a political ideology that advocates for the involvement of religious institutions, particularly the clergy, in the governance and public affairs of a state. It is based on the belief that religious authorities should have direct influence or control over political decisions, often in the form of a theocracy or ecclesiocracy. This ideology is not confined to a specific religion and can be seen in various forms across different religious contexts.
The history of clericalism dates back to ancient times when religious leaders often held significant political power. In many…

How might the celebration of your birthday or personal milestones differ in a community centered around religious customs?
@9JP5PTVLibertarian4mos4MO
I don't celebrate an awful lot, it's just getting older for me, but for others they may see it as a celebration of life and the anniversary of a soul reborn, it could also differ greatly between religions.
@9JP9YDC4mos4MO
People of different religions might support different things, I don't care that much about holidays other than getting to spend time with those you love.
@9JP5GHM4mos4MO
Some religions have specific things for birthdays and some just do not
@9JP64ZPWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
Different people have different beliefs depending on their experiences, background, and environment.
@9JP5H424mos4MO
In some relions you don't celbrate stuff like that but in some you do
@9JP5HBQ4mos4MO
It's more about focusing on God, who gave life to all things, than the celebration of the individual.

If your career or education were directly influenced by religious leaders, how would it change your future aspirations?
@9KCJKJS3mos3MO
I think that if you grow up around a group of leaders who believe the same thing you tend to think it's the right way to think. So it could go towards any future wishes with those certain beliefs because you learn that way and grow up thinking that way. It could restrain you from stepping out of your box and going towards something that could be better for an individual.
@9KCHQ243mos3MO
It would change my career probably a lot due to more morals that are involved in religion. I might not even want to continue my path to that career if it was influenced by religion
@9KCHKR63mos3MO
Depends on if that religion believes in the use of technology as someone who would like to become a software designer.
@9KCGYNN3mos3MO
It would depend on the religion, as I want to do something with art, but certain religions may require women to stay at home and care for children rather than work.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Can you envision a world where romantic relationships follow guidelines set by religious leaders, and how would that affect you?
@9L8XX542mos2MO
It could lead the world into a better path since there would be less crime and better morals.
@9L9KNCFWomen’s Equality2mos2MO
Each relationship would be almost the same just with different people, there wouldn't be much room to explore in the relationship and take risks.
@9L8Y25D2mos2MO
No, the world isn't perfect and no one should have to follow these. I will follow what I believe is right, and do what I want to do.
@9L8XXX6Independent2mos2MO
Yes, that world will be chaotic because regulations are being set by religious groups.

What would an ideal holiday season look like to you if public celebrations were based on religious customs?
@9J685KF5mos5MO
Christmas celebration without involving religion to respect those who may not be religious
@9J77977Peace and Freedom4mos4MO
Whether your traditions are based on religion, culture, or specific family activities, they are a really important part of holiday celebrations.
@9J6CRBQWomen’s Equality5mos5MO
An ideal traditional holiday would seem to be very obsolete for me since I live a conservative lifestyle.
@9J67Y6X5mos5MO
celebrating birthdays,christmas, or parades or the forth of july

Would you be comfortable if your healthcare decisions were influenced by religious teachings, and in what ways?
@9HGYP5F6mos6MO
As long as I have the option to decline as I do now
@9HGWV6F6mos6MO
What the **** ? no, obviously, why would i, an atheist, want my healthcare decisions influenced by your delusions?!
@9HGST7G6mos6MO
I would not be comfortable because other people's beliefs would be governing what I can and can't do with my body.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If religious leaders policed morality, how would that influence your notion of right and wrong?
@9HDVVZH6mos6MO
I think religion should be apart from the goverment because everyone has their own views on it and if you dont agree what they do it starts to create conflict.
@9HDYQB56mos6MO
It wouldn’t be fair as not everyone shares the same religious beliefs
@9HDW4V56mos6MO
That would influence my notion because that is against the 1st amendment.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you feel about your hobbies and interests if they were subject to approval by religious authorities?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you envision your access to healthcare changing if it were delivered within religiously defined ethical boundaries?
@9J2VX4Y5mos5MO
i can imagine the world we live in would be much more divided and health care would be biased
@9J2VRFMWomen’s Equality5mos5MO
I don't think religion should be a changing point of it

@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If reproductive and relationship education were steered by religious teachings, how well equipped do you think you would be?

How might the integration of religious rules in business ethics affect your decisions as a consumer or entrepreneur?
@9L5P6672mos2MO
The integration of religious rules may sway my opinion in the business ethics and my decisions as a consumer. Religious rules may not apply to me and I may not feel as if I have to follow them. I am religious myself so I would prolly be able to abide by these rules depending on what they are. Depending on if I agree or disagree with following these religious rules will determine which way my opinion sways.
@9L5DTRJ2mos2MO
Personally, it would not affect me because I am a Christian myself so I know that religion is important to me and important to others so if they chose to portray that, that is their right.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In what ways do you believe your sense of identity and personal values would evolve in a society governed by religious authority?
@9HX9VJR5mos5MO
Separate religion from government. However, freedom of religion should exist to preach good values.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In what ways do you think the treatment of animals and the environment would shift if overseen by religious authorities?
@9J3SDDY5mos5MO
I have no clue, but I can easily say religion and government should be secular.
