Pakistan needs irreligious Govt Executives and Education
Pakistan needs irreligious Government Executives and Education, only then the
democratic will of the people of Pakistan can be realized.
Executive Branch in the Government of Pakistan means all Federal and Provincial
Officers, Judiciary, Bureaucrats, teachers, and Professors.
Now, I will explain why it is critical.
What is being “Irreligious”?
“Unbelief” is when a particular government does not prefer a particular religion. It is
somewhat similar to being irreligious.
“Secularism” means that the constitution, Government, and society have no official
religion at all.
Being irreligious or rational lies somewhere in-between.
Pakistan Government’s irreligious origins
Pakistan was destined to be a progressive Muslim Nationalist country by the founding
fathers.

“You may belong to any religion, caste, or creed that has nothing to do with the business
of the state.” Muhammad Ali Jinnah
That ideal was only possible through an irreligious Executive and education system.
Along the way, due to geopolitical compulsions, Pakistani society drifted toward a rigid
variant of Islam that was enforced top-down right up to the classrooms.
This is sacrilegious in a modern, educated, and confident society as the minority gets
marginalized first, then every sect deviating from the mean becomes suspect.
As expected, the Pakistani society nosedive into a fearful, untrusting, incompetent, poor,
and fragmented society, partly because of the misuse of Islam by state functionaries
masquerading as saviors.
Pakistan’s experiment with religiosity and martial patriotism
This experiment has been repeated many times in the history of modern man starting
from Constantine of Rome, with the same eventual disastrous results.
However, Pakistan’s tyrannical rulers had to try it once again.
Now that the result of this experiment is clear to all, I will explain what happened.
Deeply religious societies are tormented by tyrants using religion until the time an even
bigger tyrant takes over.
Tyrants know that naïve and ignorant people can easily be exploited by creating
communal differences, and martial patriotism while criminal masqueraders continue to
grow in power.
Modi of India is a recent example.
That is why the richest people in Pakistan act deeply religious and lap up to whoever
holds power in Pakistan.
If religion does not work, try jingoistic Patriotism – especially Anti-India sentiment – to
enslave poor people further.
That is why only definite social climbers in Pakistan are Armed Forces Officers and
religious leaders.
What happens to a brutalized society?
So, it’s either tyrants or some foreign power that simply delivers people from their misery
by exploiting this deliberate divide.
This is what happened in Bangladesh – erstwhile East Pakistan.

It is true that religiosity in society helps the less educated and economically independent
citizenry to make sense of the disparity around them – and keeps them happy and
satisfied – for a while.
Such an underdeveloped society stays stable under state-sponsored religious dogma and
over-the-top Patriotic fear but doesn’t do well in productivity.
Most often than not, these religious societies, like Pakistan are desperately poor and will
stay this way.
These desperate people remain exploited till the time a richer power develops an interest
in their land.
Then, all hell breaks loose in the form of civil war.
Pakistan is just about there if not passed through the first awakening.
Why does not Pakistan’s democracy deliver?
Truly democratic societies, the ones that negotiate on the table, the distribution of
resources and irritants through a social contract and constitution as the guiding
document.
An independent Judiciary, and the unbiased executive branch, implement this social
contract, without prejudice – hence everyone does well rapidly.
This is because it unleashes bottled creativity and individual genius that creates more
wealth for all.
This is the reason why minimally religious western societies have been able to harvest
the best and the brightest minds from the world and dominate for at least 300 years.
Pakistan has not been lucky.
Human Development Index and Secular outlook in Society
Research has also shown that all societies that have a steep growth curve in the Human
development index become increasingly secular and irreligious.
This increasing irreligiosity has been observed in Muslim societies like the ones in Iran
and UAE as soon as education, health, and competence increased.
This can be understood through common sense, as a confident, secure and economically
self-sufficient population would not be cowed down or intimidated by religious or
demagogic leaders.
Such false leaders do not want to tell people the – peace, security, and well-being for all.

Every society must grow, eventually, whatever country the group of people lives in –
Pakistan is no exception.
When the natural equilibrium for every developing society is to become irreligious further
along in time, then there is no point in keeping the people hostile to one form of religious
practice or excessive Patriotic Fear.
Does irreligious mean Atheistic?
Absolutely not!
Irreligious does not mean that individual people cannot practice their faith and relationship
with God.
At least one brand of religious practice does not need to be sponsored through state
executives, universities, and schools.
There is also evidence to show that all top 10 highly developed societies in the world are
largely irreligious and their governments are secular in any religion.
What is Pakistan to do?
Pakistan does not necessarily have to swing to full secular form.
Several things are working in a religious society such as philanthropy, empathy, altruism,
nuclear families, less violent crime, less abandoned children, less racism, and a robust
social network.
Pakistan can retain the gains of being religious and still progress rapidly as the USA
has.
The only difference is that religion, especially “Christianity” has no mention in the
USA’s constitution, but has repeatedly mentioned Pakistan’s.
In the USA, this fact gives the religious minorities, and all talented marginalized segments
of society level ground to grow personally– something vital for a nation’s success.
Every individual in such a society contributes toward progress without fear of injustice or
discrimination.
Pakistan has tinkered with religion and now all national institutes are full of opportunists
who use dogmatic, ritualistic Islam and rabid patriotism to control and amass power.
Pakistan should slowly but surely revert to the median line in religion, through democratic
processes.
This involves
Re indoctrinating governments’ machinery to eliminate all symbols of religion from
the workspace.

5. 5/8
Recruiting only officers that consider religious practice their personal matter.
Removing all symbols and practices of promoting a single sect of religion in
universities and educational institutions.
Roping in renegade religious schools under the law of the land and introducing
Theology, Ethics, Philosophy, and Sociology as subjects for the award of Ph.D.
degrees – instead of Alam e Deen.
Creating a semi-autonomous religious body headed by a scholar appointed by the
elected prime minister, that regulates interpretation of Islamic laws to Pakistanize
religious edicts for bettering the people through
Freedom of speech
Freedom of thought
Freedom of affiliation
Freedom to protest
Justice for all
Allowing the immigration to talented individuals from all religions.
The government is supposed to invoke trust and dependability, not invoke fear.
This comes with having democratically elected legislators free of coercive pressure from
religious groups, armed groups, and coup plotters – the irreligious executive branch
ensures this safe structure.
The most intractable problems of Pakistani society like illiteracy, overpopulation, lack of
civic sense, rule of law, extremism, and incompetence can be traced to coercion by
power-hungry religious groups and coup plotters in the shadows of the executive branch.
What does Islam and the Quran have to say about protecting
minorities
Quran clearly states that
“ There is no compulsion in religion”
“And if your Lord had pleased, surely all those who are on the earth would have
believed, all of them; will you then force men till they become believers?” Quran
10:99
“Therefore, do remind them, for you are only a reminder. You are not a watcher over
them” Quran 88:21-22
“for, every community faces a direction of its own, of which he is the focal point”
(2:148)
“And do not abuse those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest exceeding the
limits they should abuse Allah out of ignorance.” (6:108).
“O you who do not believe! I worship not what you worship and you are not
worshiping what I worship; …Therefore, to you your religion and me my religion” Al
Kafirun:109–6
“as for such (unbelievers) who do not fight against you because of (your) faith, and
neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them
kindness and to behave toward them with full equity” (60:8-9).

The controversy over Jizyah Poll Tax in Islamic Societies
Jizyah or poll tax on unbelievers was a routine matter in the 5 century – sort of
protection money.
When the Islamic empire expanded, in the 8 century, it became institutionalized but
never crossed 1% of the total income of non-Muslim able-bodied men who did not
participate in the war draft and had the means to pay.
Every Muslim, on the other hand, had to compulsorily participate in the war draft and had
to pay 2.5% of his annual income.
In a modern Islamic state like Pakistan that does not need to expand, Jaziya makes no
sense.
Fight those who believe not in God and the Last Day, and who do not forbid what
God and His Messenger have forbidden, and who follow not the Religion of Truth
among those who were given the Book, till they pay the jizya with a willing hand,
being humbled” Quran 9:29
Caliph Omar’s instructions on his death bead were; “I instruct you to be good to
Dhimmis (non-Muslims) for they are your responsibility. Do not tax them beyond
their capacity. Ensure that they pay the Jizya without undue inconvenience. . . with
regards to people, I enjoin upon you to administer justice with an even hand. See
that the legitimate requirements are met. Be concerned for their welfare. Ensure the
safety of their person and property… treat all the people as equal. Be a pillar of
strength for those who are weak and oppressed. Those who are strong but do
wrong, make them pay for their wrongdoing.”
So, the focus in Islam is not on enslaving non-muslims through official sanctioned
religious edicts, but on building a just, equitable, and progressive society.
This would come naturally when the government does not adopt one particular religion
and is not coerced.
Where did this obscurantism come from?
Quran does not specifically mention that Islam has to be the state religion, however,
guidance from Islamic instructions is necessary.
The use of religion in Islamic empires was necessary because they had to expand and
keep their guard up. There were no specific world rules and was no United Nations.
When Muslim Empire failed, opportunistic preachers and cheap rulers took over.
In this time, countries of the World have become too close for a particular country to walk
off on a tangent path, misaligned from the rest.
Irresponsible Pakistani leaders have done just that.

Conclusion.
Pakistan’s executive branch must detox itself of religion and toxic power-hungry elements
to protect democratically elected leaders making laws for bettering all sorts of people in
the nation – and that starts with irreligious education.
If the Pakistani elite, which includes religious and military power centers do not heed this
advice, the world will eventually get it done, with or without our consent – but not without
a huge price tag.
