| Message | Its called freedom of speech and the church and state are still separated. This is like saying if I were to wear a necklace with a cross in it and walk into a public library that I would have to remove it. With that said, my party opposes. |

| Message | We can certainly agree with this. Our citizens must have the freedom to believe what they want, and not feel bad about it. If they see officials with religious symbols then they might associate the government with that religion, and we can not risk that. |

| Message | Our government officials should enjoy this same freedom, and this law would prevent it. Why should our employees be forced to remove a religious symbol just because they go to work. We have religious freedom in Malivia and this limits it. Once the government endorses this behavior it will pper elsewhere and soon there will be no where for some groups to go and be free. |
