    I believe Quebec is right.

    Religion is like sex. I’m not against sex. But you don’t do it at work or in the streets. You do it at home or in a place that is designed for that. And you don’t that with children.

    This is one of these things I will never understand about English Canada. In the Anglosphere culture, people believe secularism means all religions should have the equal right to express themselves in public area.

    In France, there is laicité. People don’t want to see any religion in public. Religion is considered a sensitive private matter. You can wear religious clothes and pray on your own time.

    Some one asked people in European countries subreddit about their thoughts on Quebec’s laicity law. In France, the majority of respondents (about 99%?) said it was a great idea
