True Freedom

True Freedom is dedicated to freeing the Irish People from a Constitution written in the 1930's with all the religious privilege that was 'necessary' at that time.
That privilege is no longer necessary, and, in fact, it's high time we recognised that and do something about it.
The 'Pseudo-Secular' society we are living in is not enough. Ireland needs a Modern, Secular Constitution with all the references, deference and privilege towards religion, which has for so long marred the founding document of our fine republic, MUST be removed.
True Freedom is comitted to bringing about the changes necessary to make this happen!
Here are the eight sections of the Irish Constitution that we wish to change/remove:
Opening Preamble:
In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred,
We, the people of Éire, Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial,
Gratefully remembering their heroic and unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of our Nation, And seeking to promote the common good, with due observance of Prudence, Justice and Charity, so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored, and concord established with other nations, Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution.
Section 1 of Article 6 under the heading "The State":
1. All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good.
Section 8 of Article 12, under the heading “The President”:
8. The President shall enter upon his office by taking and subscribing publicly, in the presence of members of both Houses of the Oireachtas, of Judges of the Supreme Court and of the High Court, and other public personages, the following declaration:
"In the presence of Almighty God I ,do solemnly and sincerely promise and declare that I will maintain the Constitution of Ireland and uphold its laws, that I will fulfil my duties faithfully and conscientiously in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and that I will dedicate my abilities to the service and welfare of the people of Ireland.

Section 4 of Article 31 under the heading “The Council Of State”:

Every member of the Council of State shall at the first meeting thereof which he attends as a member take and subscribe a declaration in the following form: "In the presence of Almighty God I, do solemnly and sincerely promise and declare that I will faithfully and conscientiously fulfil my duties as a member of the Council of State."
Section 5, Subparagraph 1, of Article 34 under the heading “The Courts”:

May God direct and sustain me."
Section 6, Subparagraph 1, of Article 40 under the heading “Fundamental Rights”:
6. 1° The State guarantees liberty for the exercise of the following rights, subject to public order and morality:
i. The right of the citizens to express freely their convictions and opinions. The education of public opinion being, however, a matter of such grave import to the common good, the State shall endeavour to ensure that organs of public opinion, such as the radio, the press, the cinema, while preserving their rightful liberty of expression, including criticism of Government policy, shall not be used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State.
The publication or utterance of blasphemous, seditious, or indecent matter is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law.
Section 1 of Article 44, under the heading “Religion”:
1. The State acknowledges that the homage of public worship is due to Almighty God. It shall hold His Name in reverence, and shall respect and honour religion.
