| Message | No on 1 yes on 2. Forbidding religious school, or at the very least heavily regulating them are parts of our core ideologies. It should be noted to that it was only because the three largest parties at the time voted for it that a state religion exists. |

| Message | You are saying no to Artickle One? I though you proposed the exact same things several times? |
| Date | 22:44:39, November 01, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the Religion Act of 2480 |
| Message | Ohhh, I also forgot to ask if you have any other options. I won't be picky, just wanting a compromise. |
| Date | 00:25:43, November 02, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Religion Act of 2480 |
| Message | Er, that should be the other way around, oops. Yes to getting rid of state religions, not to religious schools. As for other opinions, on this particular matter, not really, generally we/I do though. |

| Message | I'll submit for vote after the elections so it doesn't get sent right back here (OOC elections are around 1-2 am CST, but I won't be able to get on till 4 pm or so) so you still have time to raise any changes that might be made before it gets submited. |

| Date | 02:42:56, November 03, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Religion Act of 2480 |
| Message | We'll vote yes, but we will be proposing religious schools be outlawed after the next elections. |
| Date | 04:13:19, November 03, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the Religion Act of 2480 |
| Message | Thank you, though I do think outlawing religous schools is discrimiation. |
| Date | 05:56:43, November 03, 2007 CET | From | Sekowan Communist Party | To | Debating the Religion Act of 2480 |
| Message | Hardly is it discrimination if we outlaw all religious schools. In general, the curriculum of religious schools is watered down compared to the state-sponsored and chosen curriculum of the People's schools as the former attempt to mesh modern science and interpretations of history especially with their antediluvian religious texts. |
| Date | 14:47:53, November 03, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the Religion Act of 2480 |
| Message | Hence why it is strictly regulated... |
| Date | 16:47:07, November 03, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Religion Act of 2480 |
| Message | We our of the belief that religious ideologies should be completely forbidden from being taught in the educational environment. If you must brainwash children, do it at church on Sundays. |
