Bill: An Act to symbolically re-establish the Imperial Faith throughout Selucia (UPS/RIF)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperial Democratic Coalition
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: January 2677
Description[?]:
| The Imperial Faith has been the religion of a clear majority of Selucians for aeons. It has previously been established for centuries - not at the expense of other religions, but to expressly declare its cultural importance and social role. The Imperator remains the principal leader of the Faith, so it is another organ of the State in all but name, in any event. We, the Rekindlers, can see no good reason not to re-establish. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy concerning religions.
Old value:: There is no government policy concerning a state religion.
Current: There is no official state religion, but the government only allows recognized religions. 'Cults' are persecuted.
Proposed: There is an official state religion, but membership is completely voluntary.
