Religious freedom

I believe in fredom of expression. As a supporter of content creators and artists of all kinds, it is appalling to me that this sort of censorship and social conformity continues to be a burden in a nation that claims its citizens are granted certain social freedoms. Punishments doled out due to violations of 2000 year old traditions are unacceptable.

The time so separate religion from state has come a long time ago

(Kaunas, 2021-03-16)

#639

I'm signing because it's about freedom of speech and tolerance.

(Gdańsk, 2021-03-16)

Coming from the Bible Belt in America I know how forced religion can be on others who have none. As a non religious person I feel it’s wrong that we’re told to fall in line and do as everyone else. Freedom of a speech against religion should not be punishable.

That shit needs to end

(Wigan, 2021-03-16)

Everyone should be free in expressing art in all forms.

(Hollum, 2021-03-16)

Separate state, law and religion

(Glimåkra, 2021-03-16)

#664

This law should NOT exist
FREEDOM OF SPEECH

(Lisboa, 2021-03-16)

#666

I signed this petition to hopefully open some eyes. If your religious feelings are hurt so easily, are you more upset with the person or yourself? If your beliefs are so vulnerable... they must not be all that pure.

(Independence, 2021-03-16)

It's My Right!

#670

Persecution, and prosecution on religious grounds on this planet or any other is abominable, irresponsible, hypocritical and evil.

(Westerville, 2021-03-16)

#678

I believe artists should be allowed to express themselves freely without worrying about imprisonment. Religion has no place in government bodies. Fully accept and respect those who are religious.

The law must be reviewed and updated to cater changes of peoples life in modern days.

(Sydney, 2021-03-16)

#701

I’m signing because Adam ‘Nergal’ Darski is absolutely correct. In this era Christ and all religions should be only in history books, unless every country believes in magic on an institution level.

(Budapest, 2021-03-16)

(Amchit, 2021-03-16)

#712

I fully support freedom of expression and artistic integrity and feel we should abolish these antiquated laws that have no place in the 21st century, along with the draconian thinking of the Polish government and penal system.

(Newcastle upon Tyne, 2021-03-16)

We live in 2021. The world has grown and doesn't need to be held back by archaic laws and views.

Change is needed and artists shouldn't be persecuted it's going back to the middle ages

(Bolton, 2021-03-16)

#731

I’m signing because religion has no right to state governance. It is backwards, it is unnecessary, it needs to end. We are in the age of reason; we need not bend to the will of the intellectually devoid.

(Bowling Green, 2021-03-16)

I’m an atheist activist, too! @godless_mom

(Summerland, 2021-03-16)

#735

Everyone should have the freedom of speech, no matter the opinion! You don't have to agree with an opinion, but it ain't your concern either of what someone else thinks. I also obviously want to stand for Nergal on this matter. Poland is a beautiful country that should not be stuck in the medieval ages anymore. End stupidity!

(Lahti, 2021-03-16)

#737

I wish Poland is no a religious state. I want to live in a normal state.

(Sieradz, 2021-03-16)

#738

I live in a very religious country too and I'm sick of the hypocrisy of the government and the catholic and christian church. I'd like to live in a world free of that dogmas so we can build real peace. Also, I admire a lot the labor of Nergal, being accurate and honest about his believes and staying strong against those crazy fanatic people in polish government.

Freedom of expression is crucial. Enough said.

(Kitchener, 2021-03-16)

#763

People should have right to believe in what matters to them Not what they want to force on others just because they think it is right for all

Vive la Liberté !!!!

(Asnières sur Seine, 2021-03-16)

#771

I don't believe that any government should interfere in ANY religion or lack of religion. No one can control how other people feel nor can feelings be proven. No one should be held responsible for how someone else feels as no one can control others' minds. This could be used against anyone by anyone. This is a true witch hunt. It has to stop. Adam Darski has done nothing wrong. Those with hurt feelings should just stay away from Adam and/or Behemoth. No one is being forced to listen to him or his music or follow him on social media. Poland's antiquated policies that encroach on anyone's artistic expression should be abolished immediately.

It’s astonishing and sad at the same time that countries in the 21st century still have laws against blasphemy. I support Nergal and all the Polish people in their quest for true religious freedom, which also means freedom from religion...

(Gleisdorf, 2021-03-16)

Chcę, aby Polska była dumnym, świeckim, niezależnym od jakiejkolwiek religii państwem

(Białystok, 2021-03-16)

#786

Freedom of speech cannot be overruled simply because someone's beliefs might be mocked. It's absurd and nonsensical. Today's society needs to be secularized.

(Brussels, 2021-03-17)

All bullshit got to stop ,leave people deside what to do with his lives
