RE: [mukto-mona] The Official State Religion List--of the United States



 
         Yet another PROOF of what I've been saying all along -----
      
        S. A. Hannan ( and the whole Jamaati lot) is the embodiment of the Western-style 20th century Fascism.  State religion is a typically IMPORTED idea from the white Christian Europe. So is the idea of a 'State language' over which Pakistan made a such a fuss!
 
       Show me the instance of a forcibly imposed "state religion" in the 1000 years' Muslim rule in India!
 
          We, Bengalis never had a State Religion in all the 800 years of Muslim rule of Bengal.          
 
           Hannan's trumpeting of the "religion of the majority" is based on the British colonialists' computing of people of Bengal (in 1872 census) by their professed faith.  It was a bogus census with evil imperialist intention of controlling people and wealth of a colony. 
 
            It is time to DISCARD this colonial basis of classifying general citizenry by their religion.
 
          Please folks! It is time we all wake up to the dangers of these 20th century FASCISTS engulfing our 21st century.

The Official State Religion List

The New IMPROVED Official State Religion List

 
.
And we got even MORE comments about that list, some of them too brilliant to ignore.  We modified the list again, and presented to the world the list you will see below.  (If you want to see the comments that led to the changes, and our reasoning for incorporating them into an official document, go here: Improved Official State Religion List.)
Anyway, that's how we got the inspired document that you find here.  So, look this list over, and decide if you can live with your official state religion (keeping in mind it might involve hot dishes, bingo, and/or virgin sacrifices).  If you can't, start calling real estate agents in a state with a religion or other demographic grouping that you find more interesting.  And if you have a better idea, then let me or David know.
