Second National Anthem

dimanche 14 février 2021 à 01:00

The song is a beautiful and moving expression of striving for freedom, aside from a few annoying hints at excessive religious sentiment, until the disaster at the end: it becomes an explicit prayer! I will never sing that! I am sure many other Atheists will likewise refuse.

They could correct this problem by deleting the last stanza.
