Description[?]:
| This Bill ensures that religions can no longer get away with offering no financial support to its government. This Bill will ensure that religions are taxed and offers to help the fading of religion as its continues to lie to citizens through its fairy tales. Which the Rapture Party and rational citizens of Rutania will be pleased to see. Local Governments are to susceptible to being controlled by their powerful individuals who happen to be religious. The Rapture Party sees these people to be no better than lobbyist who are bullied into doing things through the fear of damnation. It also gives significant power to religious figure heads over these individuals who are not democratically voted for. Religions will be made to resemble corporations that offer a service (that being a place of worship and support for its followers) and thus they must be taxed for it. We do not intend to take any freedoms from people and although the Rapture Party is united against religion, still respects the personal freedoms of the individual. You can see we continue this freedom through the donations not being taxed which, ensures that you have control over where your money is going. That being said, we refuse to let faith control the lives of ignorant people as religion continues to suppress true freedom. The moderate reforms against foreign missionary's is hopefully the first step into stopping the spread of alien religions which will continue to split and cause disturbances in the commonwealth. |
