Bill: Religious Regulation Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Malivi Revolutionary Front
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: January 2452
Description[?]:
| Comrades! It has recently come to the MRF's attention that the bourgeois rulers of Malivia are allowing religious schools to sprout everywhere, like weeds. It is the MRF's stance that all religions are an impediment to the progress of the people and serve as tools of the bourgeoisie to obscure the worker's true objective in life, which is the proletarian revolution. The MRF will not presently oppose the principle of religion, as the balance of forces does not currently allow it. We will, however, demand that the state assume more responsibility towards the various churches and temples of Malivia. |

| Message | Why are you so hell-bent on oppressing the people of Malivia and removing their right to freedom of religion, to freely deciding where to send their kids to school, to own businesses, to earn wealth? Everyone in Malivia is afforded equal opportunity, all you seek to do is punish a group of people who have taken advantage of that opportunity. Grow up, and look at equality in a real context. |

| Message | There should be a separation of the churches and the state, but this goes too far. |
| Date | 12:09:42, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Militarist Party | To | Debating the Religious Regulation Act |
| Message | Absolutely not. As even the RPM stated, this goes way too far. |
| Date | 21:10:53, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Malivi Revolutionary Front | To | Debating the Religious Regulation Act |
| Message | Comrades! There is no freedom in religion. Religion is, by its very nature, oppressive; and along with the illusion of opportunity, it is one of the many smoke-and-mirror systems employed by the bourgeois ruler to oppress the honest worker. The MRF knows that the pawns of imperialism like the NCPM know this, but purposely hide the truth from the populace - the worker will not be fooled! |

| Message | OOC - also, my religious stance somehow changed to "moderate religious", which is rather embarrassing if I'm going to be playing a straight-up soviet revolutionary party |
| Date | 03:07:46, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Radical Labor Confederation | To | Debating the Religious Regulation Act |
| Message | OOC: I think the MRF is a bit outnumbered on this one. |
| Date | 03:08:07, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Radical Labor Confederation | To | Debating the Religious Regulation Act |
| Message | Religion has always been, and will probably always will be a part of Malivian life. |
