| Message | Members of Congress, We in my party support a secular state and that means that we think the government cannot take a position in favour of one particular religion, or for that matter religion over non-religion. While I think this bill comes from a good place it either means that the state must give recognition to religions being a special case or we must also ban all other political or ideological symbol and thus we vote no.
