| Message | Your title contradicts the effects of this bill! Article 1 is a massive government intervention in relgion by forcing people to wear clothes according to their religion, someone somewhere else tried that a while back, a certain religion had to wear yellow crosses, didn't turn out too well for them! Article 2 obviously encourages prayers, which is usually associated with religion so yet again you are encouraging government intervention in religion. Article 3 by setting up a state religion even the blind and dyslexic would say you are interfering in religion Therefore we view this as anything BUT refusing government intervention in religious affairs. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
