Bill: Religious Neutrality
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
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: June 2572
Description[?]:
| The HPP want to create a dress code concerning employees in the state and for them who have a public function. They should no longer have the right to wear religous clothing. They represent the state and sould be totally neutral while doing their duty. As political independence is craved, as should religious independence. In all other cases, the choosing of clothes is completely voluntary, respecting other laws on this matter. We also want to avoid commercial religions as we believe religion is a personal matter of belief and not a matter of poster campaigns or other smart money spending PR. We therefore suggest that no missionairing is allowed as it in some way requires individuals to seek the information for themselves and not be persuaded by commerciality of religious bank accounts. |
