Spirituality

Strongly agree

Decrease

Many spiritual ideologies emphasize the importance of peace, nonviolence, and compassion. Decreasing military spending could be seen as a step towards promoting these values and redirecting resources towards social welfare, education, and environmental protection. For example, the Dalai Lama has often spoken about the need for disarmament and reducing military spending.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system may be seen as a more cooperative and peaceful approach to defense, which could align with some spiritual ideologies. However, the focus on military defense may still be less appealing to those who prioritize peace, nonviolence, and compassion above all else.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Spiritual ideologies may not have a specific stance on the current amount of military spending, as their focus is more on promoting peace and compassion. Some may be satisfied with the current spending if they believe it is necessary for self-defense and protection, while others may prefer to see a decrease in spending.

Slightly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While spirituality may not be directly opposed to the idea of increasing military spending after reducing the deficit, the focus on peace and compassion may still make this option less appealing. Spiritual ideologies may prefer to see resources directed towards social welfare, education, and environmental protection rather than increased military spending.

Disagree

Increase

Spirituality as an ideology generally promotes peace, compassion, and understanding. Increasing military spending may be seen as promoting conflict and aggression, which goes against these values. However, some spiritual traditions may acknowledge the need for self-defense and protection, so the disagreement may not be absolute.
