| Message | A state religion with King Jack (if he is still alive) at its head can be more easily controlled than foreign groups and sects. Besides, no-one is required to join. |

| Message | !!!AH HA!!! Control. That is what you want. We should not attempt to control people's beliefs; it is dangerous. It breeds revolution. |

| Message | Religion will be more controlled in the sense that the government is better aware of what beliefs are practised in society. But the fact that membership is voluntary means that the government can't enforce any specific beliefs. In real life Sweden and the UK are in the same situation and I don't see any people there being coerced. |
