| Message | Absolutely not! The state should not support any religion, but neither should it ban free people from practicing their religion. Religious clothing poses no threat to any citizen of this nation. We have an obligation to tolerate religous attire, just as we have an obligation to tolerate secular attire. Hell, we tolerate nudity--I don't see what is so dangerous about a priest's garb. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
