Greece’s Atheist Leader Wants to Officially Separate Church and State

[phands]

I think he's being naive too, but I hope he succeeds - churches have no place in civilized government ...

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, an atheist, thinks the Orthodox Church will support his proposal to introduce “religious neutrality” to the struggling country.


Tsipras has already been blamed for wildfires in Athens due to his godlessness, but now he’s stepping into the line of fire on the frontlines of the battle of global secularization. He seems to believe the Church will willingly give up its power — a belief that would never gain much traction in the United States.
