Message | Mr. Marshall, While we are in favour of a secular society we are of the believe that outright banning religion from society is all but ideal. People deserve to practice any religion they would like to practice. Veljko Cisek, President of the NPR |
Date | 12:23:24, October 09, 2018 CET | From | Szlachta Walruzyjska | To | Debating the Combatting Religious Mental Poison Act |
Message | Articles 2, 6, and 7 are very overbearing and overreaching for a governmental agency. We cannot support this bill in such a manner. We do acknowledge the problems with public religious displays, but we believe the government should not interfere with religions more than secularizing the public eye. |
