Bill: A Comment on Religion
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican Party
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.

Description[?]:
| True freedom of religion can only be achieved if teachers are permitted to lead prayers if they so choose. Students are not necessarily forced to participate, but teachers should be given the right to express their beliefs as well. A state religion can serve to unify the citizens of Belusia, although membership should remain fully voluntary because the true spirit of religion is that all who join believe honestly and sincerely. |
