Message	We support. Separation of State and Church should be preserved at all times. Religion must not interfere with their work. Since there is not guarantee of that, we should have this.

Message	I support the seperation of state and church in the way that we should never have a state religion. Other than that we should not favorize atheism over does who belive that a god or several gods exists since in my opinion atheism is a kind of religion too, since there is no certain answer to the question if a god or several gods exist, so both sides does who belive in a god and does who dont take a belive in what they think is right on the question, but no one can know if they are right or not. We should not favorize eather side, and we should not ban clothes soly on religious grounds, thats only discriminating

Message	State is state, religion is religion. When you are doing your job (for the government), religion must be set aside.

Message	We are not banning the clothes. Banning means you are not allowed to where them. We are saying that as a public official you should not have anything that could intimidate certain religions. Let face it, we have a lot of VERY religion people in Lodamun. Some of those are very open about their opinion. Public officials should not have the possibility to confuse state and religion.

Message	The state should never impose any laws based on religion, and it should never ban people from wearing religious symbols.

Message	But it bans some people, and that too much. A government should never ban anyone from wearing religious symbols, jobs shouldnt matter.

Message	If they want to work for the government, they have to abide by its rules. It is the same as businesses.
