Bill: UNC Religious Policy Reform Act 4164
Details
Submitted by[?]: United National Congress
Status[?]: defeated
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: February 4165
Description[?]:
| We believe that there needs to be some fundamental changes in the laws regarding religion in our country; we forbid even individual evangelicals from exercising their freedom of speech and expression by not allowing them to advertise their religion, we only allow recognised religions to exist whilst persecuting cults, forbid the wearing of religious clothing and symbols which once again is an attack of freedom of expression, and we believe we need to liberalize our approach to foreign missionaries. |
