Description[?]:
| Madam Speaker, for too long has religion been a tool for oppression and subjugation by imperialist and capitalist elites.

If we are to be free, religion must die. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, this Bill attempts to demolish the religious freedoms which Dranish citizens from all backgrounds have long been entitled to. This Bill is not only illiberal and wrong, but it is decidedly un-Dranish. As an old man who has been around here a long while, I can inform the Jalalists that this is not the way we do things in Dranland! Cadfael Maddocks MP (Leader of the DSP) |

| Message | Madam Speaker, the way we did thing in Dranland are not something to be proud of, unless one is proud of nuclear genocides and totalitarian cults ruling the entire nation. There is not a single one of our native religions that has not caused unspeakable pain and suffering. Some people may still adhere to the mad ramblings of a 29th century priest, but for their sake, and the sake of all of us, this must stop for good. Comandante Óscar FVJ Chief Vanguard |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
