Birmingham City Council has banned it’s staff from accessing websites about atheism and witchcraft. But they are still allowed to access religious sites, whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish etc.
I am a hardline atheist and this is totally intolerable and makes the council look ridiculous.
Discrimination against atheism and witchcraft is a rare example of rival religions closing ranks to fight a common threat. Atheist rationalism shows religious beliefs up as absurd, while witchcraft’s mumbo-jumbo is much too close for comfort to religious superstitions.are you saying that they’ve been banned from visiting these sites during working hours??
My initial reaction is that they should be doing some fooking work!! :evil:
Never mind about religion or non-religion the taxpayers’ money should not be wasted on idle bastard employees accessing the internet.I think it is on work computers, yes. The should be working, but it’s still a ridiculous and unfair judgement on what they can and can’t see.
Frontline local authority workers mostly work hard and conscientiously, it’s their overpaid and unaccountable senior managers that play the system. Local authorities are overdue for a few hard-hitting investiagtions into all the conferences, irrelevant training and fact-finding tours enjoyed by senior managers at the expense or council tax payers.
Birmingham Council discriminates against atheists.
As they should.
We have a right to challenge the belief in god or gods or other superstitions and to give our reasons why. I used to be a Christian but now I’m a humanist-atheist, perhaps even a Dawkinist! I believe, as an atheist, that we should be out debunking religions and their silly myths with missionary zeal!

Not often I agree with Actor, but in this I do.
Anyone has the right of challenge and belief in whatever they like.
When it comes to SOME! civil servants though, who work for local government, (and I use the term work loosely), who are being paid out of the tax payers pocket. Then theyve no right to complain about being discriminated against at work. When theyre at work they should be using their pc’s to!! work, not accessing religious sites and then moaning about being dicriminated against. :evil:
