| Message | Will vote no, unless you remove proposal 3. There may be those of different faith in a teacher's classroom. It would show favoritism in one faith over another if the teacher encouraged one type of prayer. I have no issue with teachers praying with their students, just not during a time when they should be teaching. |
| Date | 19:25:34, April 20, 2017 CET | From | New Labour, New Mordusia | To | Debating the Religious Reform |
| Message | We currently have a complete separation between religion & the state, a system which allows all religions & none to be practised freely without undue influence. We are opposed to all 3 Articles. Are we to assume that Article 2 is an extension of Article 1 or do you propose to persecute "unrecognised" religions in other ways? |
| Date | 23:51:28, April 20, 2017 CET | From | Mordusia First! | To | Debating the Religious Reform |
| Message | Ahmadism is not a religion, it is a political theocracy which can be described as a cult or a terrorist organisation. We would like to tax this religion as many of us do not agree with it. |
