KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in Prime Ministers Department Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim has urged mufti and state governments to take action against atheists in the country as their practice is against the Federal Constitution. <\/p>\n
He suggested that authorities go after atheists and identify them, adding that they had deviated. <\/p>\n
This is a country with religion. There are Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism and others. <\/p>\n
The Constitution clearly states about Islam being the federal religion while other religions are also allowed to be practised in the country. There is no mention on atheism. <\/p>\n
They (atheists) clearly lack knowledge in religion, hence they choose not to be a believer. <\/p>\n
To all the mufti and state governments, please pay attention.even though there are not many atheists, he told a press conference at the Dewan Rakyat today. <\/p>\n
On Monday, the government reportedly said that it would investigate alleged claims which went viral in social media that Muslims had joined the Kuala Lumpur Atheist Club. <\/p>\n
Shahidan said the club might draw the interest of people due to its persuasive ways in spreading atheism. <\/p>\n
You know nowadays people tend to glamourise outspoken people in social media. Keyboard warriors are always glorified. <\/p>\n
