Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: May 2661
Description[?]:
| Religion Recognition act (based on WSS!P\'s bill from October 2637): WHILST accepting that it is not the business of the government to enforce morals onto its citizenry, whilst also accepting that a large minority of citizens of this Nation receive moral guidance from other aspects of their lives, the government will reintroduce the policy of accepting Hobaism and the Hobrazian Orthodox Church as joint State Religion. In so doing, these religions provide a historical link with our nations past and also provide a potential moral future for our nation. However, whilst accepting the historical significance of reintroducing the co-State Religions, the government also accepts that not all peoples are willing to follow a deity(ies) and, as such, there will be no mandatory requirement for citizens be a member of either religion.
