Philosophy and Religion in Libraries

The petition is entitled Completely seperate Philosophy and Religon sections in libraries and the explanatory notes say
"Libraries always put philosophy and religon next to each other. Philosophy is a method of critical thinking, whereas religion is based on faith not critical thought; therefore they ought not be related by contiguous placement. Philosophy is better placed next to Science."

Yes! Let's petition the PM to completely reform Dewey Decimal!

Personally, you note! We are requesting the Prime Minister himself to go around reshelving every library in the country! Yes!

Incidentally, in a lot of local libraries, the Science shelves are next to Philosophy - on the other side to Religion, obviously.
