Bill: Laïcité for the Republic Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Democratic Alliance
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2088
Description[?]:
| We propose that Darnussia should have a completely secular, laïcité government with a strong separation of church and state. Religion and beliefs are a private matter of personal individuals which the state has no right to interfere in, otherwise we have bias towards certain religious groups and people won't be equal before the law. This will obviously lead to religious surveillance which we cannot permit. Our government should not even ask about religions on census or even acknowledge certain religions over others. Basically, keep religion as far away from the state as possible, otherwise it will be a big mess. As thus, the government will not regulate or recognise religion when before the law. This way we can treat everyone justly while maintaining tolerance. |

| Message | Basically, this bill means that priests will receive pay rather than not getting paid at all. If you are trying to say that the church >>>could<<< pay them lots of money, then yes, you are right. This evidently means that no members of the clergy should be paid, just as we should stop all workers getting paid because the companies they're working for could pay them more than other companies...... |
