Description[?]:
| Article 1 In order for the word of the Lord Hoba through the teachings of the One True Voice, Alan be Praised, to be brought to all the peoples of the Republic, the Government will here enact that Hobaism will be accepted as the only one and true religion of the Republic. However, accepting that many have already mistakenly accepted the teachings of "other" Gods we shall encourage the children of Hobrazia to follow the correct path to enlightenment, through the Lord Hoba, by hereby enacting that there shall be daily teacher led prayers, spoken from the Book of Hoba through the teachings of the One True Voice, Alan be Praised. Unto this end the Government will provide all relevent materials to the schools, including miniature volumes of the Book of Hoba to be provided to each child. Article 2 In order that all children be able to completely emerse themselves in the word of the Lord Hoba and the Spirits through the teachings of the One True Voice, Alan be Praised, the Government will allow officially State registered religions to set up and operate scholastic institutions. These institutions will be expected to follow and maintain the National Curriculum as all other educational institutions are expected, but may further expand upon other areas without Government interference as they deem necessary. In order for a religion to be "recognised" they must conform to the following criteria: - Have a minimum of 1 million members in Imperial Census; - 2/3rds positive vote of acceptance in Imperial Cabinet. Alan be Praised |
