Bill: Religion Package
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
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: March 2875
Description[?]:
| Article 1: The HPP is not at all convinced that there are gods who overlook our lifes and therefore we suggest to remove state religions in Hobrazia. Though we accept the need of people to be religious. Thats why we suggest that the government operates a list of recognised religions that are allowed to practice their religion in Hobrazia. At the moment we will add to the list: Hobrazian Orthodox Church Hobaism More can be added during debate. Article 2: To follow up on article 1 we should only allow recognised religions to start schools in our nation. Furthermore we must secure that the pupils receive an education as good as in our public schools. Therefore this proposal. Article 3:The religious communities should not be above others when it comes to minimum salaries and working conditions. Article 4: People are free to choose their religion, or at least they should be. Therefore the HPP suggest to forbid commercial religion (which is also a paradox) and let individuals either promote or seek the religion for themselves. The HPP believe religion to be a personal matter between the individual and their god/gods. Thus this proposal. |
