This is not a rant nor a flamebait. I am a commonwealth citizen and a staunch republican.

I am against monarchies by principle.

Unfortunately the king/queen of England is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England which goes against my principles as well since I am an atheist.

I do not wish ill will on the royal family, but as a humanist who believes that every man, woman and child born on this planet is equal in rights, I cannot accept nor promote a system of governance that deems certain people to be above others by simply being born in the right family.

I am sorry for the loss caused by her death and I feel sad for her loved ones but that loss should not stop people form pushing for the creation of genuine republics in the countries within the commonwealth.

I think certain commonwealth countries will rethink whether they want Charles to be their official head of state. With Elizabeth dead, the memory of british empire becomes much more faded
