appears?
i am asking this because in my country in the old identity cards ( that many people still have) the religion one has is written
but in the new identity cards it is not allowed the religion to be written
and that fact caused major protests of people who wanted it to be written on their identity card

It does not appear on any form of identification in Australia and I like it like that. I don't see its relevance, it would be like also having your sexual and political persuasion as part of your identification - no one elses' business! They are factors that can create a certain response or reaction from people and that is not what the purpose of IDing some is.

It does not appear on UK ID cards, Driving licences, or Welsh identity cards, or National Insurance Cards.
I wouldn't want it there, to be honest. I'm 17, I have all the above forms of ID and I regularly go to different places of worship, i'm not sure of my religion. When someone online asked to to define my religion or lack thereof, I wrote them a small essay - it was over 2 pages of A4 size 10 typefont - and that just wouldn't fit on an ID card! I think it should be optional, you can choose whether or not you want the field on there at all.

I undergo in strategies the '70's. while the IRA have been on the mainland and a hell of so lots greater energetic than todays terrorists!! there substitute into no call for identification enjoying cards to handle the threat back then - so what has replaced?? The creation of "worry" into any challenge is beneficial to have the needed consequence in a land the place the inhabitants has had it mushy for over 60 years. I actually have a passport, a employing licence, national coverage variety, Inland gross revenues variety, Council Tax invoice, credit enjoying cards, a financial corporation account, a start certificates and a private loan. What greater do i could teach who i'm?? An identification card is precisely that - a chew of card. not a swipe card containing all your very own info which could be swiped with the aid of a device by everybody with the authority to realize this. The creation of the understanding "terrorism" into the argument has had the needed consequence on a extensive proportion of the inhabitants who're keen to settle for identification enjoying cards without argument. it fairly is merely yet another spoke in the wheel of entire administration and surveillance. yet another occasion is monitoring of site visitors by the setting up of trackers to all autos - a equipment to which the police could have finished get admission to. This substitute into first presented 4 years in the past as an help to combat terrorism yet substitute into rejected as too invasive. Now it has merely been re-presented below combating site visitors jam and could little question be popular as a mandatory evil. Use of the "worry ingredient" in all isuues has allowed this government to undermine the main appropriate to privateness and freedom of the inhabitants to an alarming quantity and that they gained't be chuffed till all of us have a barcode tattooed on our foreheads.

We don't have an Identity card here except for a drivers License. We do not want one either. They want us to have them by 2008 and people either do not know about it, or are unhappy about it for the most part. There would be outrage if they wanted us to have our religion on the card. We believe in privacy, and all that can lead to is persecution.

There's no reason for a person's religion to be included on an ID card. That sounds awfully Hitleresque.

No, and I wouldn't want it to appear on my ID card. People should have that information which I choose to give to them and judge me based on how I present myself, not by a religious stereotype.

I carry my SubGenius membership card in my wallet, next to my driver's license. If I'm unconscious on X-Day, they'll know I'm paid up, and they'll make sure I get onto the flying saucers.

if it did appear, we should be able to choose any religion we want to, even one we made up on the spot. i would say my religion was /b/tard, so would at least 3500 other people in the US.

If you mean on our state drivers' licenses, not it does not appear and I don't think it ever has.
Religious preference does appear on military ID tags, but not on military IDs.
Personally, it wouldn't matter to me if my faith was listed on my driver's license or not.
