| Message | We definitely had you in mind in drafting our two latest religious freedom bills. A lot of socialist/communist parties take a hard line when it comes to religion, seeing religion as a threat to the scientific advances of the revolution, or as a drug to keep the working class complacent and divided. We agree with our socialist comrades that a workers' state should have nothing to do with religion, but we take a different approach. If the government is to truly be neutral about religion, then it must allow religions to exist unimpeded by unnecessary state interference. That said, we do take a hard line about religious interference in social and public institutions. Thus, we must have strict regulations anywhere religion encounters the public sphere - education, taxation, et cetera - to ensure that state and social institutions promote only science and rational thought. Public schools must teach only the scientific reality of the world around us. Religious schools must also teach the scientific reality of the world around us, but are free to teach religious mythologies alongside the required scientific curricula, as long as scientific teaching and religious indoctrination are strictly separated in their presentation to students. |

| Message | Friends, it is not really for the Brethren in Lourenne to redirect the State to specifically support our Faith. We assure you, the matter of faith is a personal one of conscience. Removing barriers to the free practice, however seems to be a fairly reasonable moderate course between full acceptance and full persecution. This bill, to our understanding, is an expression of that middle course. |
