Bill: Religious Freedom Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Reform Party
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: June 4610
Description[?]:
| The leader of the reform party, John R. Campbell, rises to present another liberating act. "Our free and plentiful society is rooted in our Hutorian culture, and faith, which has been actively suppressed by the government for war too long. Our institutions and culture cannot be seperate. If we are educating kids secularly and taxing churches, we are no longer passing on any knowledge. The state must recognize the human element of our institutions, and restore human culture and faith. As far as we remove religion from society, the farther we fall towards statism and internal chaos." |
