Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Satan hereby declares: "Religion is a bad thing. Instead of praying to some imaginary god, people should work hard to support me and my opulent lifestyle. Wait, that's not right, forget that last part. I don't have an opulent lifestyle, i swear. Let's just say they should support the government and its huge social programs, that's more impressive and less obvious, although further away from the truth. But we don't have to deal with truth, we are the government." |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
