For years these two have been a toxic mix, and for years people have tried to separate them without success.
Even The Claim of Right was changed, illegally to give one religion favour over another, and look how that worked out in recent years in NI.
In the States this toxic mix plays out on a daily basis with the Right Wing Evangelicals and the Democratic Left on a number of Policies that affect the daily lives of ordinary people.
In the last few weeks, Religion became the unwanted focus in the Leader’s contest, and suddenly Presbyterianism became the ‘baddy’ even though Scotland is still seen as a Presbyterian country. As far as I know the Wee Free church is still Presbyterian!
I absolutely agree that no Leader of any country should focus their religious beliefs on their people in any way shape or form. Yet having won the contest, today we see this thrust upon us!

So, what is our new FM saying here? Is there a subliminal message?
In Scotland, in all Denominations including the Catholic Chirch numbers have fallen drastically but I still believe that somewhere deep down we hold those valves. Now I am not suggesting the Islamic Religion has no values, they have and some are even stricter. No, my point is when did one religion appear to have become more important than another?
Kate was hounded because of her beliefs but Humza wasn’t…..WHY?
Seeing this today made me even more certain that only the people, all the people of all religions can deliver Independence. The truth does lay within the Claim of Right, a level playing field where all have a say.
Now more than ever this becomes most important!
Now more than ever do we need a Peoples Convention.
Now more than ever do we need to take Religion out of Politics.
Now more than ever do we need to see all ourselves as equals.
Let’s do this!
