I know you are talking about majority of shia, but in a larger scope, is it possible that all the nation believe a single ideology?
Absolutely not , I think during the revolution and a decade after that we had that situation in Iran and majority believed in shiism , but nowadays every thing has changed , Firstly people are not that religious like 20 years ago , Secondly the youth ( especially educated ones ) don't have similar views like what their fathers or grandfathers had and most Iranian regular people have learned to respect other ideologies , views , religions and cultures and none of them ( the regular ones ) is gonna to fight and start a war for religion and such stuffs in these days .
As I said in previous post , Religion is good and completely useful and can help a country to advance ( as all you see in Islam is encouraging people to trying hard , studying and not giving up ) IF all the people believe in it and perform it in both their lives and work but all we see in Iran is using the religion for personal interests , the government or in other word all the people in Iran use the religion as a tool .
At the end add that Iran needs a secular government which respects all the religions , cultures and etc . The main religion can be what the majority believes like other countries in the world .
This should be the way a patriot thinks, proves your highness. I do not deny our previous governments as dictatorships were puppets. As they have no root within the nation, they had to be dependent on others. Secularism was not the reason of that dependence, the dictators are responsible for. They just abused the concept of secularism to fight with people personal ideologies.
I found my country in danger, and I am in strife to save the same country that people have given their blood for. I am not sure this is the true answer. But I am sure if we cover our problems, the same puppet makers will solve it for us.
I think a rich and important country like Iran will never be able to have an independent government , The current one that is a religious government which had the goal of reaching independence but you've seen what the superpowers did to stop it and a secular one will be treated like this if doesn't obey for them .
In my opinion if any secular government takes power in Iran , It will have hard days to choose independence which brings the superpowers' pressure or dependence and being a tool . ( For this issue I ask people to read the history of Iran in the last 200 years ) .
So do you think a change could be the solution? Our problem is that we has found it costly, too!
I think Islam is good and respectable but it can't be useful for a nation that doesn't care about it and use it as a tool . I think we need a government that is mostly separated from religion ( not completely as you still see lots of people believe in religion and cutting all ties will bring tension in society ) . Just look at some of the problems : Most of people that are in charge ave been chosen because of their religious beliefs not their proficiency , Our tourism has been destroyed because of the limitations of religious laws , Millions of talented Iranians and brains have left Iran because of the Muslim extremists , no one invests in our country and our investor working in Turkey and Gulf states because of our government's crazy limitations and politics and ...
Religion in a personal belief and shouldn't be a part of the government and ... . It doesn't matter who you are , what you believe , where you have come from , all matters is that , You are an Iranian and have to do your job or duty as well as possible , In this case Iran will advance .
Its embarrassing to see around 7 millions of our countrymen abroad and calling them betrayers , Hypocrite and ... . We have to prepare the country to help them come back and work together to build Iran which is not gonna happen by such government .
I'm a Muslim and have lived in a religious family but unlike my grandparents and parents I respect all other religions , ideologies and have no problem with them and apart from these stuffs use Islam in my own life not forcing people to do what I believe .
A friend of mine once told me that "
Heaven is not forced and some people might not want to go there but the government wants to make every single person Muslim to send him to heaven " .
Those "only in name" secular regimes were obsolete dictatorships. A dictatorship never could defend the interest of his nation as he finds that against his own interests. Norway as an oil rich secular independent state proves it is possible.
I think if a secular government wanted to be like them , I'd prefer the current system .
