Among the historical controversy always in vogue among believers and nonbelievers, reappeared this time of year that, frankly useless, respect for religious holidays: If you do not believe, believers say, then you should also work Christmas, Easter, and all religious holidays, which, in effect, has its own logic. In reality you need to divide the discourse on different levels. Individual workers do not have much choice: for example, who, not believing, working on farms under the parties close what should be done, open up a sole proprietorship for only two weeks and work on their own? And, if so, at which customers? Instead, the discourse of the holidays decided by national and local authorities is different, and needs to be addressed at the legislative level.
To begin with, it is clear that each of us needs a rest during the working week should be dedicated to himself, his family and his social life and to maintain an optimum physical well-being, and it is also clear that the collective shifts off work must be established so as not to affect the entire national economic system, must also be said that the current organization of the calendar (daughter of the centuries of theocracy) can not be revolutionized in an instant . However, in the meantime we could make a modest proposal to help resolve the issue.
companies could - by decree law - collecting information about their employees' adherence to a faith rather than another or none at all, by self-certification and subsequent verification by the Ministry of Labour and trade union representatives or the company's personnel management , thus Christian workers will step forward to staying home on Sundays (even those Christian workers who currently work seven days a week contrary to the precept of 'sanctification of the parties') and in the main Christian festivals, Muslim workers should stay home on Friday and during Ramadan, those of Jewish faith on Saturday, and so on. And then, as Paul of Tarsus had to write "who does not work do not eat, even the religious of all levels will find a job and a paycheck are guaranteed by the sweat of their brow (and not with that of all taxpayers Italians).
As for the workers non-believers, even forced them to work on November 1 and December 25, also had to clean the chandeliers and bring business leaders to walk the dogs, but has allowed them to stay home on 20 September and February 17, the day of the martyrdom of Giordano Bruno.
This, of course, is only a provocation , impractical and even unconstitutional, is a response to those believers who think they take into chestnut nonbelievers in their coherence without putting at stake his own. But - seriously speaking - it would be useful sooner or later face the question of religious holidays 'mandatory', and would also be interesting to see if the "government's doing," the government "liberal, libertarian and liberal" and labor productivity would have the courage to face it.
