Bill: Get Religion Out Of This Nation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party
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: December 4109
Description[?]:
Religion creates rifts and divisions in the world; it causes backward thinking, thereby halting medical, scientific, marital, societal and humanistic progress. Religion locks young people in right from birth and ensure they never ever have the opportunity to look in any other direction. It encourages people to be content rather than try to better themselves, and to trust in an invisible friend rather than strive to succeed. It takes away the joy that we might have in our own successes and instead throws them at the feet of this invisible being that might have had something or nothing to do with it. It makes people sit idly by and pray rather than stand up immediately and do something about it. |

Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
