Interference impossible to ignore, or what should the state do with religious policy?
All states of the world have in place a policy regarding religion and associations that citizens set up based on this religion's ground. The atheistic government of China and theocratic government of Iran, the mighty United States and tiny Andorra – just every one of them.

Environment is Amanah, and Removing Trash from Road is Sadaqah: Muslims Joined Cleanups
Editor
On 20 April, cleanups and tree-planting events were held all over Ukraine.
Tires, wires, single-use packaging, glass, metal, children’s toys and a 6L container full of used medical syringes were the “catch” from Aliuminiieva Balka in downtown Zaporizhzhia. Muslim volunteers from the local ICC “Vira” joined the “Eco Zaporizhzhia” initiative. It took just an hour and a half to collect over a ton of trash, with the syringes the most worrying part of it (for kids could use them in their play).
“Eco Zaporizhzhia” team thanked the Muslims for their participation and diligent work.
On the very same day, Kyiv Muslims, volunteers from the local ICC, joined the annual cleanup of the square at the A.P. Romodanov Institute of Neurosurgery. The participants of the event not only gathered the trash, but also cleaned the curbs, fixed and painted the benches.

І саме правдиві християни ніяк не бажають, аби ця - всуціль аморально-згубна пошесть вільно пропагувалася, культивувалася й геть поширювалася у суспільстві, вловлюючи у свої диявольські тенета все
І до числа цих "Божих дітей" - як чітко і ясно каже й наголошує Святе Письмо - адепти адепти огидно-гріховних сексзбочень ніяк не входять. І цим своїм - всуціль нечестивим і беззаконним
Усіх, хто зневажає інших, бажає людям зла, кривди, хай люблячий Бог врозумить і нейтралізує негатив отаких "християн"! Бо вони не є послідовниками Христа, але фарисеїв та інквізиторів.
Неодмінно має бути повернута в КК України стаття, яка передбачає відповідальність за сексзбочення: причому, не лише гей-стосунки, а також і за лесбійство. Крім того, пропаганда гомосексуалізму також
Якщо церковники так напоказ несамовито по-фарисейськи кричать, що дбають про сім"ю, то вони мають усі церковні повноваження та вплив на вірян, щоб з дитинства виховувати у вірян сімейні
