I am an atheist, but this offends me deeply. Everyone should be free to follow whatever religion they want to. When the state infringes on that freedom, every one of us, regardless of our beliefs or values, have to fight against it, otherwise it will be our lives next.

Same here. I'm an atheist, and this is WRONG.

I have seen what racist, religious and sectarian divides does to a society. Once it crosses a point, the society never comes back from it. These deep divisions will never heal.

Agreed. This is too far. People are allowed to think and believe as they see fit.

This is starting to wade into very dangerous territory. Our founders never intended for our elected officials to have this power. The tree needs to be watered.

The scary part is how they use COVID as an excuse for these authoritarian actions. No wonder people are losing faith in science, because science is being politicised.

We are already deep into that territory.
