»	The New Middle Ages of the US With every progressive milestone this nation achieves, such as the legalization of gay marriage in 2015, Christian fanaticism grows. Certainly, in retaliation against these commendable policies, they strangle liberties elsewhere, like reversing Roe v. Wade and ending the once-lauded constitutional right to abortion. If US citizens do not take an adamant stand against these changes, we may find ourselves no better than those living in Islamic theocracies. Louisiana citizens are the latest to befall such medieval decisions. On June 19, 2024 state Governor Jeff Landry passed a law mandating every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments. They must be shown prominently and clearly, and schools must have them in place by 2025. While Landry justifies this by saying the Commandments have 'historical significance,' this is a weak argument when confronted by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights - another document with historical significance yet is not required to be displayed in every classroom - which states we 'shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...' The law is just part of this religious trend with conservative lawmakers. Last month, Louisiana legislators also banned abortion, declaring abortion pills as dangerous controlled substances. Elsewhere, states like Texas and Florida passed laws allowing religious chaplains to provide mental health services or support for public school students. There are critics of these laws. Maitreya Rael, founder and leader of the Raelian Movement, advocates for freedom in all things, including religion. He spoke in 2006 about the Western world potentially sliding backward towards religious policies that favor discrimination and constrict peoples' rights. "...he western world must continue to accelerate its progressive reforms which allow it to completely destroy the last puritanical and conventional traces inherited from the oppressive Judeo-Christian traditions," he said that year. That was almost 20 years ago, and it seems like the US is struggling in this regard. In order to destroy these last traces, as Maitreya Rael says, we must start with the children. We must reconsider the values we expose to them. How much time and effort is taken teaching the names of military generals, brutal colonizers, and tyrannical kings compared to the names of the brilliant inventors of daily objects like toilets, laundry machines, dishwashers, and the automobile? How can we drill the details of the Magna Charta but omit the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? This is the document that should be in every classroom. If we are thoroughly examining our children's education, we must critique religion itself - monotheistic beliefs in particular. After the World Trade Centers were attacked in 2001, Maitreya Rael said, "Whether it is the Bible, the Gospel, or the Koran, all these sacred books spread hatred, intolerance, and encourage violence and barbarism." The very nature of monotheism and its traditions endorse discrimination and conflict - after all, if there is only One God and you believe a different one then one must be wrong and the other right. He continues in his speech, ...such texts must no longer be taught to children! Because the fact is that while the world cries over the victims of Manhattan, there are children who are receiving a religious education that will turn them into the terrorists of tomorrow who will in turn create new strife among different religious schools. To post the First Commandment in a classroom, which says, 'You shall have no other gods before me,' is to instill intolerance of those who believe in a different one! We must embrace tolerance and celebrate the differences among each other. However, we cannot impose them onto others, nor throw out decades of freedom and liberty, all of which are happening more and more in this country. We must teach our youth tolerance, respect, and fraternity for all other men and women, regardless of their ethnicity, culture, or religion. Rob Sansone

The Raelian Movement Calls for a Ministry of Happiness in Every Nation

Happiness: A Universal Right and the Cornerstone of Human Development

On this International Day of Happiness, the Raelian Movement reaffirms its commitment to promoting happiness as a fundamental pillar of human progress and global peace. Happiness is not merely a personal pursuit—it is a basic human right, and Happiness schools should be established in every city, ensuring that individuals have the tools to cultivate it.

"Happiness is encoded in our DNA. Never feel guilty about nurturing your own happiness. Taking care of your happiness while others suffer is not selfish. It is precisely to stop these sufferings that we MUST spread and develop happiness. Happiness is the only solution to save Humanity because it brings Love,“ said Rael, founder and spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement in a recent address.

To truly place happiness at the heart of human culture, the Raelian Movement calls on governments worldwide to establish a Ministry of Happiness. This institution would ensure that policies prioritize well-being, emotional fulfillment, and social harmony, rather than being solely driven by economic and political agendas.

Several nations have already made significant strides in this direction:

-The United Arab Emirates created a Ministry of Happiness in 2016 to promote national well-being. 
-The Kingdom of Bhutan measures progress using Gross National Happiness (GNH) rather than GDP. 
-Several Scandinavian nations have integrated happiness into public policy, leading to the world’s highest well-being scores.  

"If happiness and peace are inseparable, then true leadership lies in ensuring that every citizen has the conditions to live in harmony," added [Raelian Spokesperson]. "A Ministry of Happiness is not just a symbolic gesture—it is a necessity for the future of humanity."

Happiness Must Be the Lodestar of Civilization

The Raelian Movement organizes yearly Happiness Academies on every continent where individuals can learn the tools to maintain their levels of love and harmony at every moment in their lives.

“Scientific research on meditation is clear—stress-related diseases can be eliminated if individuals, communities, and governments prioritize happiness as the core of development,” said [spokesperson]. “On March 20th, we will express this vision through global actions, just as Raelians do in their daily lives and communities.”  

About the Raelian Movement

The Raelian Movement is a global philosophical organization dedicated to spreading love, scientific progress, and happiness as the path to true human enlightenment. Inspired by the teachings of Rael, the movement advocates for a world built on peace, harmony, and the recognition of the extraterrestrial origins of life.
