Surprised to know how much more open Spain has became

[Clovis]

Well, I'm an atheist too, so it's nice to see world leaders following the same example.

[proboardslol]

You're an inspiration to us all

[neesu]

Good. Get fucked.

[Resonant]

You know which other world leaders had secular regimes?

STALIN
HITLER

Atheism has no need to be in politics, the blood of good people are on the hands of the godless.

We will see, acts speak louder than words. They got the attention of everybody by not making the oath with the crucifix, but they have to accomplish what they promise.

This wouldn't be the first time the PSOE goes saying "look at us, we're left" and then proceeds to do stuff from right wingers.

Hail Satan!

He may be an atheist, but I know much of Spain is not. How much could he get accomplished in secular matters with most in government religious?

[Crumpets]

this may be a joke but I know of quite a few people who believe this unironically

[Elowin]

it wouldnt even be a joke if those people didnt exist

[Maestra Fénix]

Nah, we are only catholic for baptisms, communions, weddings and funerals just because traditions / it looks beautiful, the rest of the time we are non-practising christians or just agnostics.

Then again there's a ~30% that desires the old times with Franco about obeying point by point the bible and they hold important positions of power so it makes a lot of interference with everybody lives.

I was actually extremely terrified of it being unironic until I got to the end. I could actually give you a list of 5-10 people I personally know who would back that claim.

[The Wroth]

Sadly 90% of my Ukrainian family would do the same and then add some sort of end-of-times anti-christ spew afterwards.

Church lobbyists place giant billboard depicting neckbeard Shrek tipping his fedora directly in front of the Spanish Parliament; government crumbles, PM resigns, nation in chaos.
