| Message | "If you believe that religion should not be discriminated against, then you're quite right. Deltaria has a policy of non-discrimination, even positive discrimination is banned. Making all religions tax-exempt is a example of such discrimination. The current policy is a compromise, all religions should be fairly taxed like all citizens and businesses of Deltaria are." - Anna Sett Liberal Conservative Minister for Education and Culture |

| Message | If you cancel the taxation of all religions, even those that are nationally recognized and registered, this will create chaos and avoidance of taxes by certain groups of people. - Sandra Oldrich Department for Education and Culture |
