Bill: Liberal Approach to Religious Belief Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Zhtál-Merlkai Tjarziprta
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 4349
Description[?]:
| It is our party's belief that the state should play a role in ensuring religious tolerance in all areas of society. This cannot be done by the wholesale banning of religious belief, or, indeed, the opposite, by ramming religion down peoples' throats - or favouring one set of beliefs over others. We need moderate, tolerant acceptance of all faiths if we are going to progress. Gus De Smet Republican Party Leader |
