| Message | All religions start as cults. The word cult is used to stir up fear among the populace. Furthermore, no one should have to fear religious persecution at the hands of others, much less the government. Therefore, the Coalition will vote "NO" should this bill ever be put to a vote. |

| Date | 02:56:30, February 29, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0049.2538 Recognized Religion Bill |
| Message | We disagree with the Independants and the Socialists (to a degree). However, we also oppose this bill. The line between a cult and a religion is perhaps too fine a line for politicians to draw, particularly federal politicians. Another great problem with this is that smaller and newer religions will inherently find it particularly difficult to flourish under this law. |
