Bill: Coalition Religious Dissemination Proposal
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Beluzian Movement
Status[?]: passed
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 3642
Description[?]:
| We have a grand history of treating the distorted historical mysticism organisations as businesses with taxable income for use by the state. In the interests of ensuring sustainable levels of public spending, we propose the liberalisation of religious advertising, while increasing the level at which we tax cult based institutions. A 'free' and 'vibrant' society should have streets filled with preachers and religious garments, the succulent chaos of unreason fueling our collective greatness. We must also remember that the vast levels of public funding render 'charitable' actions moot. Since we are the elected representatives with a mandate from humans, we have the obligation to decide where money is needed , as opposed from a mandate with God, who has been reluctant to communicate his policy proposals with us. Since this bill received support pre-coalition, we are re-submitting the bill as it was. |

| Date | 04:19:25, March 26, 2014 CET | From | Feministas Verdes | To | Debating the Coalition Religious Dissemination Proposal |
| Message | The religious community has historically been a patriarchal and misogynistic monolith, awarding foolish men with the power to make illogical and and puerile decisions while denying women the positions of authority that they deserve. For this reason, the Feministas Verdes are unable to support this bill and its anti-feminist implications. |
