Description[?]:
| A cult and a religion are too very different things, while religions are responsible and peaceful, seeking only to increase their folk. While we must regard a cult as a religion gone rouge. Anything faith that falls into these categories shall be regarded a cult. 1: If any religion stops promoting itself lawfully, or becomes violent, the government shall, in right of thought and law, regard it a cult. 2: If any religion violates it inherent political naturality, and becomes a front for and/or a funder of any political movement, the government shall, in right of thought and law, regard it a cult. Political parties (example: the Union of Progressive Ulama) may have religious motivation. Example: a Imam may not cocerce his flock to vote Ulama because it would violating the neutrality of Islam, but the Union of Progressive Ulama be a "Islamic" party. 3: New religions that have not yet proven to be civilised shall effectively be on "trial run". 4: Religions which violate human right in their ways, the government shall, in right of thought and law, regard it a cult. 5: Any religion that calls for holy war though violence against another religion or a political movement and/or ideology (example: a holy war against liberalism), shall be regarded by the government, in right of thought and law, as a cult. 6: Any religion that enforces it's own laws on it's followers violently, shall be regarded by the government, in right of thought and law, as a cult. 7: Religions that are anti-Semitic or otherwise racially and socially discrimatory, shall be regarded by the government shall, in right of thought and law, as a cult 8: Large Religions such as Islam and Christianity shall not be regarded as cults, only cultish sects within them shall be persecuted. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
