I hope I have understood the question.
You are probably familiar with Dr. Viktor Frankl, who wrote the book Man's Search for Meaning.
Meaning is very different for every person. For some, there's meaning in faith, while for others, there is none. Those people have the right to say that it is their truth, to safeguard it and to share it. That is why I think social morality is important. Our meetings may be about religious freedom, but also about freedom of conscience and of belief. It is important to protect it.
There is probably a way to do things differently, but section 176 stresses the importance of that freedom. In the current context of increased hate crimes, this section makes sense. That's why we really need to keep it. Others are saying the same thing.
I have been given a note. In a few days, the Conference will be signing a letter. It is an ecumenical and interreligious letter that will be signed by Jews, Muslims and Christians, asking that section 176 be retained.
Have I answered your question?
