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: April 2739
Description[?]:
Recognising that there are major religions in Barmenia other than Islam, and there are also significant populations of agnostic and atheist Barmenians, we propose that: 1. Non-religious schools should be allowed, so that no religion will be imposed on those who do not have one. 2. Only recognised religions should set up schools, so that no cults or sects will be able to set up schools. |
