Bill: Laïcité Acts of 2610
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party of Aldegar
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: October 2610
Description[?]:
| Religion in the general sense is a shortcut at which speakers use to gain access through the people and their life. We believe that religion should not be supported in their mission to gain a foothold in people's lives as well as in the public life. We stand for the rights of individuals and not that of religion. Which has gone to show in the long run to be destructive to a society that allows the direct intervention of religion in politics or in the manipulation of people's lives and the state and government must step in to protect the lives of citizens who are more susceptible to the practices of religion. |
