| Message | We support all articles except for the government policy concerning state religions. The government should not have the power to recognize religions and persecute others; that is involving the state with religion, not separating them. Governments should either allow all religions or ban all of them; no other choice is acceptable to us. |

| Random quote: "Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
