Synopsis
This episode delves into the groundbreaking report, "Finding DORI: A Department of Religious Inefficiency" from the BC Humanist Association. Published on April 1, 2025, this document proposes the establishment of a new governmental body: the Department of Religious Inefficiency (DORI). Far from striving for streamlined governance, DORI aims to intentionally embed inefficiency into the Canadian government by expanding the entanglement of religion and state. The report outlines a series of bold initiatives to achieve this, moving away from what it terms "misguided secularism".Key Proposals and Themes:Constitutional Transformation: DORI would be established as a super-parliamentary structure with powers equal to the Crown, formally recognizing the dual authority of church and state. This is intended to exacerbate constitutional debates and highlight tensions between secular governance and religious privilege. The report also suggests replacing the Charter of Rights and Freedoms with a Charter of God’s Supremacy.
