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: June 2555
Description[?]:
Although the government should respect the right of all to worship freely, in order to ensure that radical religions and cults that pose as religions do not corrupt the public virtue, all religions should have government permission to advertise themselves and spread their doctrines. This is to ensure racist, demogogic, or mind-controlling 'religions' (such as Scientology) do not manipulate the people of Telamon andlead them astray. - Kristian Donson - Leader of the Radical Party |

Message | We refused to support a bill with similar provisions proposed in May 2554, and we still cannot find grounds to do so. We encourage the COM and Republican parties to vote no to this bill. James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

Message | It is interesting to point out that this bill is not aimed at harming religion, but merely ensuring that dangerous 'religions' do not corrupt the upstanding morality and virtue of the Telamonese people. There is a tendency in this House to vote against anything that concerns religion, in fear of it dismantling the ethical and moral status quo, without considering the aims of the legislation. - Kristian Donson - Leader of the Radical Party |
Date | 00:44:38, April 02, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Religious Regulation Act |
