Places and activities requiring the COVID-19 Vaccination Passport
, Government of Quebec, 2021-08-24.

Vaccination passports will not be required for the following places and activities: […] Places of worship

This amounts to an egregious privilege for religion. It is completely unacceptable. If performance venues such as concert halls must require that attendees present a vaccination passport, how is this any different from a church, synagogue, mosque or temple, where people are often chanting and singing?

Church-goers are mostly old people

Those are also very susceptibles to die of COVID

If they choose not to be vaccinated and go to church with other unvaccinated people they will likely die and it will be their own undoing

We are atheists. Critical thought and science lead us to the conclusion that gods, demons, reincarnation, the immortal soul and other supernatural beliefs are childish fictions. We value reason, knowledge and the material, intellectual and moral advancement of humanity. Our philosophy is materialist: there is no soul associated with the body, and as for the mind or intellect it too is material because based on neuronal processes. We are moral beings, constantly evolving and responsible for ourselves, as is the humanity to which we belong. We promote secularism and reject any religious involvement in civil institutions.
