It's past my bedtime, so I'll be brief, but I have indicated that Canada would be a good country to start (as a prototype), but the idea would be to take the next step is to go world-wide. I thought I was clear enough on that count...
In my opening post on Sep 29, 2021, I asked...
- Could taxing religion be an atheist-led world-wide initiative if there was adequate interest? I say, Yes.
The next day, I wrote...
- I'm sure I'm not the only one who is critical of this unfair taxation throughout the world's countries...
Then on Oct. 3, I specified...
- ..in that religions around the world seem to have sweetheart deals with most governments to avoid paying tax.
- A researcher (maybe several) to look into / document illegal/unethical church activities world-wide.
- One or more website developers to allow a 'presence' to the world for this initiative.
And on Oct. 28, I noted...
- Regarding moving its tax base (and workers), I don't yet see an issue, partly because I'm hoping for a world-wide effort
So, remembering my first and fairly strong suggestion which I viewed as an anchor for the rest: "Could taxing religion be an atheist-led world-wide initiative" that received no response, I think I asked more than adequately for non-Canadians to get involved. Ande I'm pretty sure I've specified my world-wide hopes for this. I trust you'll agree with me given the excerpts I've detailed above. So, are you willing to help with this new-ish information?
Canada is good because of the ~6,000 dead First Nations kids (the Pope is in Canada to address the issue of the ~6,000 kids next week), Canada also has a relatively non-religious population when compared to say, the U.S., so that was another reason to start in Canada, from my POV.
I'll also note that the initiative from my POV was to maybe get a half-dozen interested people from RatSkep, and then with a better (vetted) plan, go to sites like Rationalia, Quora and others, maybe picking up a few people from these sites and build strength in numbers from everywhere. I was not prepared to go to these sites when I hadn't got a single committed person. And I still view a Project Manager as key, to lead this.
