| Date | 22:02:38, May 07, 2008 CET | From |  Progressive Liberal Party | To | Debating the Religion reform bill |
| Message | We the Progressive Liberals agree with the spirit of this bill, as our core ideas tend towards a healthy secularism. Separation of Church and State was a hard-fought issue centuries ago, and prayers should only be allowed in religious schools, subject to stringent regulations to ensure that the content of their education does not incite hate against other social groups (other creeds, sexual orientations, races, etc.). Thus, we'll join this bill, as it stands, in the vote. |
