| Message | i have to disagree on this. i believe this can force some religions to be worse off than others, and having different tax brackets for varying religions can seem as though the government is favoring one religion as compared to another. |

| Message | I agree with this bill, most religions seem to operate as businesses these days, they have their own investments and such, why shouldn't they be taxed? I am pleased that charitable donations are not taxed however |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
