Bill: Religious Control Act
Details

Status[?]: passed
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: June 2754
Description[?]:
| The recent sex scandals in the church have shown that the priests have far too much power, and believe they can act with impunity. Ulitmately, the molestation of this young boy in Carlston was the fault of the government, for not properly overseeing the churches. The theocrats may talk of religious liberty, but they have no right to do this. Their behaviour must be punished. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
