Bill: Electoral Platform 2590: Religion
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kirlawan National Party (Leftists)
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: November 2589
Description[?]:
| Religion: Government must discourage religion, and adopt strong secularism. Too much religion leads to death and poverty. Government must be strictly secular, no government employees should show any religious symbols, and there should be no religious building on public property. Its time Kirlawans stood against the death and disunity religion gives our nation, and start living their lives not based on what books people believe in, but on what kind of people Kirlawans are. We must get religion out of Kirlawan society as much as possible. |
