Is LUBP an anti-religion blog? – by Sarah Khan

The LUBP supports secularism but that does not mean we are anti-religion.

Lately it has been suggested by a few commentators on this blog, forum and elsewhere that the LUBP is a blog critical of Islam (or religion, in general), and has a la-deen (wrong translation of secular) orientation.

Nothing could be further from truth. Team LUBP (its editors, authors and visitors) comprise individuals who are diverse in their religious affiliations or lack of any affiliation at all. While the majority of us are proponents of secularism (i.e., separation of religion and state), that does not mean that we do not respect religion and that at least some of us do not practise our respective religion or faith to varying extents in our private lives.

For example, one of our valued posters recently commented: “…the only thing this blog [LUBP] is ever “critical” about at any given time is Islam.”

Here are some articles related to Islam (an incomplete list) based on my quick search on this blog. Hope this clarifies the LUBP’s position on religion:
