Bill: FP Manifesto Part 2: Religion
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2157
Description[?]:
| In order to bring a more religious nature to Rutania, to allow for religion to thrive and due to the majority membership of MPs from the FP in the Cult of the Invisible Hand, we bring about this programme. 1. We should welcome Foreign Missionaries into the nation and encourage them to come here. Allow the people to experience foreign religions and new ideas! 2. No religions will be taxed, we hate taxes anyway and we do not feel our cult should pay tax on the donations we receive 3. The Cult should not pay for our ministers and representatives, as our Cult Ministers are also FP members, they are paid by the state, the law should reflect this. 4. Teachers should encourage worship of the Invisible Hand and to do this, economics lessons will be encouraged in all schools so that children can learn about the Invisible Hand and worship the free market like us! 5. Lastly, the religion that celebrates free markets and the invisible hand shall be the official state religion, it will be given official status as well as funding. It will reflect the Rutanian economy and nation! |
