i dont think my tax money should be spent propagating superstitions like god. i dont want my tax money to be wasted on structures built for propagating harmful and divisive beliefs. many of these places are places that do not allow women to enter. it is very important to keep the temple(church,mosque) separate from the state. it would be better if instead of pouring money down this black hole of superstition, if money were spent in colleges, roads, human welfare, animal conservation, agriculture, science. if instead of doing thread ceremonies on their boys, parents would instead educate their 12 year old boys that eve teasing should not be tolerated. if instead of telling little girls entering puberty that now u r not allowed to go to this temple on these days, instead open the doors of scientific inquiry to her. show her how beautiful her body maintains her menstrual cycle. how stem cells which can make any organ (theoretically) are present in her menstrual blood. make her feel proud of her body. instead of spending my tax money on 'modernizing' a rotting system, spend it instead on the future.
