Details
Submitted by[?]: Aryan Kommunisten Partei
Status[?]: defeated
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 2451
Description[?]:
| A cult and a religion are too very different things, while religions are responsible and peaceful, seeking only to increase their folk. While we must regard a cult as a religion gone rouge. Anything faith that falls into these categories shall be regarded a cult. 1: If any religion spots promoting itself lawfully, or becomes violent, the government shall, in right of thought and law, regard it a cult. 2: If any religion violates it inherent political naturally, and becomes a front for and/or a funder of any political movement, the government shall, in right of thought and law, regard it a cult. 3: New religions that have not yet proven to be civilised, shall be regarded by the government, in right of thought and law, as a cult until proven innocent. NOTE: In this case the religion shall not be actively persecuted, but shall effectively be on "trial run". 4: Religions which violate human right in their ways, the government shall, in right of thought and law, regard it a cult. 5: Any religion that calls for holy war against another religion or a political movement and/or ideology (example: a holy war against communism), shall be regarded by the government, in right of thought and law, as a cult. 6: Any religion that enforces it's own laws on it's followers violently, shall be regarded by the government, in right of thought and law, as a cult. 7: Religions that are anti-Semitic, shall be regarded by the government shall, in right of thought and law, as a cult |

| Message | This is totalitatian leaning. We propose the following: - Only recognised religions may set up religious schools, with no regulations. - The government selectively screens which religions are permitted to send missionaries to the nation. Certain religions are approved and travel is unregulated. This would enable an effective democratic control (not persecution!) over which could be considered a cult. Besides, the proposed change would disestablish the State church. We oppose this. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
