| Message | No, religions are corperations and should be treated as such. They do provide charitiable services, and this bill protects that aspect. However, religions still maintain the same structure as businesses and obtain profits, through their schools for example. |

| 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. |
