👉In envisioning the Tanzania we want, fostering a society where every citizen has a deep respect for moral and ethical values, often inspired by a fear or reverence of God, can play a crucial role.
👉This perspective emphasizes the importance of spirituality and ethical conduct in personal and communal life. It suggests that grounding society in these principles can lead to greater integrity, responsibility, and harmony among citizens.
👉 It is important to balance this vision with inclusivity and respect for the diverse religious beliefs and values of all Tanzanians, ensuring that the society remains united and cohesive.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION.
👉The main goal of religion is often seen as fostering a safe and harmonious world where people can glorify their God and live according to ethical principles. Religions provide moral frameworks and values that guide individuals in their actions and interactions, promoting peace, compassion, and a sense of community.
👉By adhering to these principles, individuals can contribute to a society where respect, understanding, and cooperation are prevalent, ultimately creating a safer and more cohesive environment for everyone.
👉When religion is misused, it can indeed become dangerous and have the potential to destroy a nation,.Misuse of religion can lead to extremism, intolerance, and conflict, as individuals or groups may exploit religious beliefs to justify violence, discrimination, or the pursuit of power. This can undermine social cohesion, incite hatred, and create divisions within society.
👉 To prevent such outcomes, it is crucial to promote a balanced and respectful approach to religious practice, ensuring that it serves as a force for good, unity, and peace rather than division and destruction.
👉The argument for completely separating politics from religion is grounded in the principle of secularism, which asserts that government institutions and their representatives should remain neutral on religious matters.
👉Let us check various things which is very crucial to argue with,
1. Ensuring that politics remains separate from religion helps protect the rights of individuals to practice any religion of their choice, or none at all, without government interference or favoritism.
2. When politics is interlinked with religion, there is a risk of policies that favor one religion over others, leading to discrimination against minority religions or non-religious individuals.
3. Political decisions should be based on rational and inclusive considerations that aim to serve the common good, rather than being influenced by religious doctrines that may not be universally shared.( Hakuna mitaguso wala dogma kwenye siasa).
4. History has shown that mixing religion with politics can lead to conflict and division. A secular government can help maintain peace and social cohesion by treating all citizens equally, regardless of their religious beliefs.
5. A secular approach allows for policy making that is based on scientific evidence and reason, rather than religious dogma, which can be critical for addressing modern issues like climate change, healthcare, and education.
👉A complete separation of politics and religion helps to create a more just, fair, and inclusive society where the rights and freedoms of all individuals are respected.
Tanzanians should understand religion, stop being drunk on religion, use it for goodness.
👉Encouraging Tanzanians to understand religion and utilize it for goodness is a noble goal.
👉Emphasizing the universal principles of compassion, empathy, kindness, and social justice that are often found in religious teachings can encourage individuals to use their faith for the betterment of society.
👉Religious leaders should play a significant role in promoting peace, tolerance, and cooperation among their followers, as well as advocating for policies that uphold human rights and dignity.
All places of worship must be registered with the relevant authorities.
👉Registering all places of worship with the relevant authorities can provide several benefits and help ensure that religious institutions operate within the legal framework of the country.
👉Registration helps the government keep track of all religious institutions, ensuring they operate in compliance with national laws and regulations. This oversight can prevent illegal activities and promote accountability.
👉Registration can ensure that places of worship adhere to safety standards, such as building codes and fire safety regulations, protecting the wellbeing of congregants.
👉Registered places of worship may be eligible for various benefits, such as tax exemptions, grants, and other supports. These benefits can help religious institutions for better serving their communities.
Religious teachers must be experts, at least the minimum level is one degree in religious education.
👉A degree in religious education ensures that teachers have a deep understanding of theological concepts, religious texts, and the historical context of their faith. This helps them provide well-informed and accurate teachings.(Hatutaki mambo ya Shaka Hola Kwa Pastor Mackenzie).
It is important that places of worship paying taxes to the government, especially in their institutions that do business like schools, hospitals, factories, etc.
👉Requiring religious institutions to pay taxes on their business activities can promote greater financial transparency and accountability, helping to prevent misuse of funds and ensuring that these institutions contribute to the public good.
👉Distinguishing between religious activities (which may remain tax exempted) and commercial activities ensures that the tax exempt status of religious institutions is not exploited for business purposes. This maintains the integrity of tax exempt status for genuine religious and charitable activities.
ie. aren't you selling us anointing water, anointing underwear, anointing cakes, anointing apples 😂😂, by God's right I would charge you tax.
TO SUM UP.
👉The government should not associate itself with religion, its people should remain religious believer, but the government has no religion. People should worship spirits, trees, God, gods but not break the laws and regulations of the country.
👉Government leaders should not use places of worship to do politics, if they want to preach they should study religion instead of using houses of worship for their personal benefits.
👉Citizens must respect authority because we know all authority comes from God, there is a super natural power that leads the world.
