Status[?]: defeated

Description[?]:
| This is an extended manifesto for the general policies of the Unabhängige Sozialkonservative Partei. This section regards the instigation of new moral policies and, by extension, the secularization of state institutions. 1. Schools should not be encouraging religion, and as a result prayers are a no-go. 2. The state should be completely separate from religion, and by extension should not support paid religious members. 3. Religious icons should be worn in private, and not forced upon those who do not follow said religions in public. 4. Religions should not be allowed to advertise. 5. In order to allow the government to ensure religious extremism is not brought into the country, foreign missionaries should be required to register at the Foreign Office. Their actions having done so, however, are unrestricted. |
