You believe that embracing diverse beliefs and promoting unity among different religious groups will lead to a more harmonious and tolerant society.
Nonsectarianism is a political ideology that advocates for the separation of religion from political matters. It promotes the idea that government or other entities should remain neutral on matters of belief and should not favor or disfavor any particular religion. Nonsectarianism is often associated with secularism, but while secularism asserts the complete exclusion of religion from the public sphere, nonsectarianism allows for the inclusion of religious perspectives, provided they do not favor one belief system over another.
The roots of nonsectarianism can be traced back to the…

What would a public space designed with inclusivity at its core look like to you?
@9JQ92ZD1yr1Y
A nice and healthy park, with staff from the community helping to take care of it.
I want people to be able to practice any religion they want peacefully
@9JQ7WXR1yr1Y
One of natural occurence, as forced inclusivity is impossible without it failing. Create cultured, beautiful public spaces with no worry of offending outsiders, as a nation is made for its people, not others to trample on it.
@9JQ8P3P1yr1Y
The government should operate independently of religious beliefs, however laws prohibiting bodily harm to any individual should be enforced regardless of religious practices. This should include injury and murder based on religious practices.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might your life be different if the media represented a broader spectrum of beliefs?
@9JBCBL81yr1Y
Life would be similar to the way things are today life is already very influenced by social media
@9JF8QTYRepublican1yr1Y
While the media may portray all spectrums. Those pre considerations you uphold will take over majority of your screen time. Therefore a balance level of exposure is necessary.
media helps to educate people more i learn alot from media
My life would be different because more people would be controlled by the media.
@9JB5DH41yr1Y
It would give everyone the chance to choose what they believe. People would be more open-minded and aware of what was happening in politics, it would be easier to talk to them.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is it possible for religion to be completely separated from politics, and should it be?
@9H3M7232yrs2Y
Yes because some religions think different from others.
@9H3MQWB2yrs2Y
It should be but it would be difficult considering most people derive their values from religion.
@9H3N2KS2yrs2Y
I don't know about this, I think religion sometimes shapes people's choices and opinions, and politics is sometimes to do with opinions.
@9H3MTHZRepublican2yrs2Y
Religion is important to the foundations of the United States
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What kind of challenges do you think leaders face when trying to remain neutral on religious matters?
@9HYQWPY2yrs2Y
Leaders may face pushback from the opposing side. They may also face hardship when trying to explain their point of view or belief.
@9HYRMHY2yrs2Y
Leaders have faced trying to keep religious freedom out of any democratic debate which they have done a very good job of by establishing nonsectarianism. It's the separation of religious beliefs and politics.
@9HYQRD2Independent2yrs2Y
Not offending anyone who’s not of the same religion or religious at all.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does the principle of religious freedom intersect with nonsectarianism in your daily life?
@9HVLY482yrs2Y
protects people's right to live, speak, and act according to their beliefs peacefully and publicly
@9HW46562yrs2Y
everyone has a right to do what they believe is right and some people may not agree and that's ok were not going to agree on everything but there's no reason to fight over it just agree to disagree
@9HVM4PK2yrs2Y
I strongly support religious freedom. The government must protect the right to exercise freely.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Should religion play any role in how a country is governed, and why or why not?
@9H4Q2TPRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes and no. I think the government should have certain religious morals but they should not push a certain religion on anybody.
@9H4QTQW2yrs2Y
No, this country was made to have freedom of religion, and if other countries adopted that I think they'd be more successful. I understand if you want someone to follow a religion but at the end of the day that's someone's personal choice and you can't truly force it on anyone. That's why I think America is so successful, and it's because we don't force any religion on anyone, we can try to guide them to one, but we cannot force them.
@9H4QH7J2yrs2Y
No, because there can be many different religions people believe in.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What impact do you think nonsectarian policies would have on the way communities celebrate their local traditions?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How could embracing nonsectarian values influence the way we approach global conflicts?
@9HLK43C2yrs2Y
maybe more people can respect religous differences. People have no right to **** talk other religions no matter what there religion or people say.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What’s a piece of advice you’d give to someone struggling to navigate a diverse belief landscape?
@9L8H2P9 1yr1Y
You should listen to what your gut says and trust your opinion. Don't let the people you're around sway your opinion, especially if you are unsure because people have told you your opinion is "wrong"
@9L8GTDQ1yr1Y
If it is law, it should not be connected in any way to any type of scripture.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can we ensure fairness in media coverage when reporting on issues involving different belief systems?
@9LGF3XK1yr1Y
Have equal media presence for each different belief
@9LGF2Q81yr1Y
It’s a long process that starts with educating news consumers. Require journalism as an elective in junior high and high schools again. Make students take at least one semester to learn to evaluate truth in media This will lead to the demand of more non- biased reporting from media outlets.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel if public holidays were adapted to be more inclusive of all beliefs?
@9J6NZFVProgressive1yr1Y
YEs, but undertsand that Christmas was originally a Pagan holiday called Saturnalia. "Christ" had he been a real person and born when the stars were described as pointing to Bethlehem would've been sometime in September or August.
@9J6NCL51yr1Y
This is America, we are going to do things the American way. Although we have people that want an experience of a culture we have restaurants and certain amusement parks that will show that.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you envision a global event that embraces nonsectarian values, and what would it look like?
@9HYQPVN2yrs2Y
I can envision a global event that embraces nonsectarianism but I cannot see the world adopting nonsectarianism as a whole. I feel that some racial prejudice and religious differences are too deeply rooted to be changed this far into the future. The global event would most likely be similar to any other movement for unity, and it would be met with lots of backlash.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think nonsectarianism can lead to better relationships between people of different faiths?
@9H7C49PRepublican2yrs2Y
No I do not. Faith is important in every aspect of Humans life. Even atheists believe that there is nothing. Everybody is going to think they are right and there is no separating that.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does your understanding of nonsectarianism influence your political choices or activism?
@9KHPWV91yr1Y
I believe that given certain parties view certain groups as lesser, given their affiliations with differing religious beliefs, it affects the people's desire to help people struggling that come from that religious background. For me, given I am not of religious affiliation, I possess little to no bias on which people I believe are deserving of right, and aid via government, which in a way, is most derivative of the party I support.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think education could help promote understanding and tolerance of different faiths?
@9K8WCXS1yr1Y
stupid question. It's not that attitude to faith is subject to education; rather it's the other way around. Of course, education can make people be more indoctrinated without knowing it; thinking they are open minded. I think education rather makes people become more sectarian
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you navigate friendships with people who have vastly different religious views than your own?
@9KMRHC61yr1Y
just don't talk about religion and keep that private
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe that a nonsectarian government is more fair to its citizens?
@9H986SL2yrs2Y
I think it's important for people to practice their religions without feelings scared or anything from that since the us has is a "secured" place where that should be allowed.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you support a nonsectarian approach in schools, and why?
@9H9FR3V2yrs2Y
Yes, religion shouldn't be mixed with education in schools, separate church and standard education.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can a society be truly united if it officially supports one religion over others?
@9H8WFZG2yrs2Y
No it cant, youre basically telling people their right to have a freedom of religion is wrong.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What steps can individuals take to ensure their actions don't unintentionally favor one belief system?
@LordOfTheWeebs 1yr1Y
Some steps individuals can take to ensure their actions don't unintentionally favor one belief system over others include researching multiple belief systems and consulting with multiple people of different belief systems.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever felt a sense of belonging in a group that included people with different beliefs, and why?
@9L4ZSBY1yr1Y
No I have never been belonging in a group that included people with different beliefs but I know some classmates have different beliefs and im perfectly fine with it.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can literature teach us the importance of understanding and respecting various beliefs?
@9L9J86Q1yr1Y
the joke of 1984 being banned for being both communist for the us and non communist by the ussr spells out the whole joke of understanding
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might the arts and culture be influenced by a principle of nonsectarianism?
@9KNTLZD1yr1Y
Religious iconography transcends religion itself, and is culturally relevant. This should not serve as a means to antagonize or marginalize a specific group. (Ie charactures of blood libel, or depictions of a specific group of people going to hell)
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might exposure to a variety of beliefs during childhood shape one's outlook on nonsectarianism?
@9JDS6Q61yr1Y
I believe some things should be left for the parents to teach their children.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What are the most important factors to consider when creating laws that respect all belief systems?
@9JCWSVNRepublican1yr1Y
You need to look at what the outcome would be and how it would go against the beliefs of all groups as opposed to just the popular ones.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would a society that champions nonsectarian values see less or more conflict, in your opinion?
@9J72S331yr1Y
I think it would show less because a lot of times people bring up religion as a source of arguing. So therefore it might not be brought up as much as it does.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think embracing differences in belief can strengthen a community?
@9JPQL86 1yr1Y
Differences of belief can be constructive to an extent for sure. Differences in race/ethnicity create conflict. The benefits that diversity of race/ethnicity yield are outweighed by the drawbacks.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would an ideal nonsectarian world deal with historical religious monuments and sites?
@9J8VXDXIndependent1yr1Y
leaver them alone there apart of the nations history
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe that an individual's religious views should inform their professional decisions and actions?
@9J5W5BKLibertarian1yr1Y
No, religion and work should remain as seperate as possible, save for prayer and smaller things
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If all entertainment media adopted nonsectarian policies, how do you think storylines and characters would change?
@9HP56W62yrs2Y
Nothing would be the same because rather we see it or not there is a lot of religion in our lives
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might practicing nonsectarian principles at home with your family influence your worldview and interactions?
@AlexIndependent 2yrs2Y
to uphold American democracy we must never allow religion into politics
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can individuals contribute to a society that values religious neutrality?
@9JDSKK8Constitution1yr1Y
I disagree with the premise as it relates to our country
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
How do you feel when you learn about a belief system that's completely different from your own?
@9TFZHQH10mos10MO
I always want to learn more about what they believe, so that I can better understand it.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would a movie that portrays a truly nonsectarian society inspire you?
@9LGXZK31yr1Y
It would be a great government and society. A lot of laws that are in place today come from a place of religion, and I think it’s very unfair that we have to abide by others religious beliefs as LAWS rather than follow the law normally, or according to our own religion.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can we celebrate the unique traditions of various cultures without favoring one over another?
@9JFNF2Z1yr1Y
Changing everyone's perspective about different races.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways can music or art be used to convey the message of unity and neutrality amongst beliefs?
@9KXDSCFIndependent 1yr1Y
Art is the most unique part of human existence. Its power is unlike anything some god could have imagined.
