| Message | The three articles are too extreme even though we support a secular state. The religions mentioned in the bill's description cannot be approved by Parliament, as Cultural Protocols have already been enacted and enforced |
| Date | 12:01:55, April 05, 2016 CET | From | Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the ASP Party Program, Part III : Religion |
| Message | We also oppose this bill as it will infringe on religious liberties and civil rights |
| Date | 12:06:49, April 05, 2016 CET | From | Aristocratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the ASP Party Program, Part III : Religion |
| Message | OOC : I know about the cultural protocols. I used to play here a long time ago and I am the one who created the current cultural protocols. This is just a list of the religions officially recognized by the government. For example there are almost no followers of Inkolo Esintsundu Sizwe but it is still recognized. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
