| Message | The NVV is appalled that the Saridani National Party would even think to propose such a bill. This document flies in the face of freedom and the ability for people of our glorious republic to live as they wish. We will not, can not, and never will support such actions from any party. |

| Message | We cannot understand why the other parties cannot understand that Saridani people LIKE Religion, and therefore speaking out against God is OFFENSIVE! Is it 'freedom of speech' to criticise someones God! This bill does not criticise peoples freedom of speech, simply allows religion to prosper! People need religion! Nowhere in this bill does it force people to pray in there free time! We are not Nazis, who will kill people for their religion! Teacher led prayers have been shown to have a positive impact, as it allows time for reflection! |

| Message | What the SNP fails to realize is that the people enjoy their religion to be run by their clergy, not the bureaucracy of big government, and to force the state religion upon people is not encouraging the spread of the faith, but rather it destroys the peoples belief in the faith. |
