| Message | Articles 4 and 5 I would be okay with. Perhaps 3 as well. Articles 1 and 2 infringe upon the rights of the people. It should be the decision of the common man or woman as to what religion they choose to worship, not the governments. |

| Message | Agreed, we must represent the freedom our citizens deserve and they should not be forced to practice any one specific religion. |
