| Message | Opposed, but only because we feel it does not go far enough. We would prefer to see a completely secular state. |
| Date | 03:03:28, October 24, 2007 CET | From | Anarcho-Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Religion |
| Message | Since we only have private schools, we have no problem with prayer in schools. We are against any article that includes government approval of religions. The LCP does not care what religions the people of Rutania practice. We approve of everything. We also have no problem with public officials wearing religious symbols. So I guess we are totally opposed. |
