Bill: Prevention of Religious Indoctrination
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pokrok Strana
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 4139
Description[?]:
| We believe that no one should be allowed to coerce other people, especially children, to follow particular beliefs. Religious schools and teacher-led prayers promote false beliefs and indoctrinate children when they are too young to make decisions for themselves. Atheism should be the default position of all educational institutions instead. We also believe that religions should be treated like any other company, and not be able to avoid paying tax just because they claim to represent a god. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
