| Message | Religions usually dont make profits, they are non-profits. The money that they get as income ABOVE what they donate as charity goes to improving the church and running SOCIAL PROGRAMS for the community and its members. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
