I have been speaking to Red Tulips about what values are important for me in society. I came up with this basic list of values:

• Secular law.
• Freedom of expression.
• Freedom of religion.
  • *Any* religion - because religion is a personal matter, not state business.
  • Religious practices that breach secular law will be deemed illegal.
  • A state can have an official religion if it likes, so long as everyone has freedom of religion.
• A representative and accountable government.
• A strong chocolate industry. ;-)
• Standing behind these values and not subscribing to cultural and/or moral relativism.

If you could create any society, what would its values?
