| Message | Opposed. Religion serves as one of the last bastions of morality and decency in Solentia, we will not abandon it. Julia Taylor, Inner Party Leader |

| Message | We believe the current system of the Xzarin Catholic Church is efficient and effective and well appreciated by Solentian citizens. Xzarin Catholicism has been a long lasting tradition of Solentian religious views and represents the traditional community of a common faith. Many citizens practice the Xzarin faith, numbering in the range of 75% of the entire populous. We believe that this majority, which most certainly respects the minority faiths, is fine keeping it's faith as the official religion of Solentia. FIP Senator Howard Metzenbaum |
