Whether the powers of Europe like it or not the constitution they tried to launch last year fell flat on it's face....
The European Parliament is currently dithering over just ratifying the rejected constitution or tweaking it, claiming they listened to people and then ratifying it. As a secularist I am very worried about the inclusion of religious references in the constitution. There seems to be an implicit statement that Europe and thus Europeans are Christians and democratic because of Christianity. I think they are confusing our history with with identity. It is true that the constitution refers to all religions but there are Christian overtones.
With this in mind secular organizations around Europe have joined forces to propose their own secular constitution. You should read it and if you agree with it you may want to sign it (link on the left, third from the top).
It is interesting to note that many religious organizations back the secular constitution. A secular constitution DOES NOT remove religion from European society but does remove it from decisions of the state. It guarantees that ALL religions are treated equally and allowed to coexist without giving special privilege to the few.
