Message | Yeh, that sounds fair. What about our countrys atheists? Im sure they'll be glad to know they get to fund a nice little retirement home for a man who tells them their going to hell. |

Message | Sure it is fair. As far as we are concerned atheism can be a religion (the believe there is no god). But we will limit it to organisations that also preform recognised charitable works and also provide these services to members outside their own religion. And the remuneration may not account for more than 7,5% of the entire budget. Sorry we should have put that into the bill. |

Message | How would this effect religious independence? Would Churches be required to meet certain standards in terms of doctrine? |
Date | 11:03:16, July 27, 2007 CET | From | Union for Social Justice | To | Debating the Remuneration of ministers of religion |
Message | Of course not. We would never want to impose views on our citizens. |
