Bill: Second Proposal to Remove an Official State Religion
Details
Submitted by[?]: The Organization for Economic Freedom
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: April 2528
Description[?]:
| Upon review of Rutania's laws and statutes, The Organization for Economic Freedom finds that there is currently an Official State Religion. The Organization for Economic Freedom feels that such a statement in support of a particular religion will undoubtedly engender negative perception of other religions not receiving the sponsorship of the state. The OEF feels that the state should make no law in regards to the establishment of religion. Religion is a private matter that ought to be free of the influence of the state. |
