| Message | “How much is Opium for our people?” – asks Helen Kissmyass, while hiding a weird cross-shaped necklace under the collar of her shirt, “Religion has no place in civilised society. If people want to practice some voodoo worshipping, they can do it in the privacy of their own home. We don’t need to know about it. Say NO to government religion, or any religion for that matter!!!” |

| Message | "Blasphemous talk" shouts Revd Cockling. "Religion is what makes people come together. Faith makes the weak strong. We must work to save every soul so people can finely find the peace they long for." |

| Message | "You don't need to follow rules from a religion to believe in something." says Landon Hollis, current president of Telamonia. "When you're a membership of a religion, you've got to follow rules in order to believe in God and the existence of the universe, and when you don't follow that, let's call them rules, you are seen as an immoral person. That's what makes people come together? Especially when you fight for the supremacy of a religion?". |

| Message | "Yes - God's rules are more unifying than man's" Revd Cockling explains to the esteemed President Hollis. "Many people already follow the true faith in our country and they share in their love for God and Spirit. Why should this blessing not be manda... available to all citizens with a little encouragement from the state? It is our, politicians, job to make sure to provide the best base for which people to grow, and religion is surely the best base." |
| Date | 00:19:25, January 04, 2018 CET | From | Telamon Social Democrats | To | Debating the State Religion Bill |
| Message | "The government has no place in dealing in spiritual matters. Religion is of such non-importance in a modern, secular state such as Telamonia. The Telamon Social Democrats also support the freedom of worship, and declaring any religion as the "official" religion, even if voluntary, flies into the face of those who may practice other religious beliefs. I will reiterate. Religion has no place in government." |

| Message | “Faith should absolutely be the foundation of government. Then at least people would know what to expect from it instead of the willy nilly turncoat positions of modern day politicians. Strength through unity, unity through faith” lambasts the Reverend |

| Message | "Thats rabble-rousing" says Anton McDonald "Uniting through faith is nonsense:Religions kill people.Our message to every party:Vote with NO. we will see that Religion kills.We the LCP will fight against a state religion. |

| Message | "Religion is like a gun. It is there to make you feel safe and to guard you against evil. Religion doesn't kill people - people kill people." |
