Bill: Re-establish Religious Freedom Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pragmatist Party
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: January 2448
Description[?]:
The state supporting one religion over others can only lead to discrimination in the public sphere against those who choose not to follow it. Similarly, prayer in classrooms leads to great pressure against those children who follow a different religion. Neither of these should be allowed. This bill is similar to another that was defeated. We believe the shift in power in last year's election is a clear sign that the people desire change. |
