Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Government should not promote any one religion because:

(a) Since, in the constitution of our country there exist a word called ‘Secularism’ which gives freedom to every citizen to possess the religion they want and government schools are strictly based on the constitution. Hence, if they do so they would be violating the constitution of our nation.

(b) If any school promote any certain religion it would be a sort of partiality with the students of other religion which will again violate the law of constitution which says that every citizen and their respective religion should be treated equally.
