Bill: Jien Faction.1.5063: Restoring Integral Traditions for Everyone's Sanctification (RITES) Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: 姬恩黨 (Jien Faction) 🌄
Status[?]: passed
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: April 5064
Description[?]:
| The RITES Act establishes Jienism and Guidao as the official state religion of Yingdala with the Son of Heaven as their head. These religions will be promoted in schools in accordance with the Jienist education system, as well as in society. Publicly, people are to act in a Jienist manner - which is compatible with most religions. But because of a long history of religious tolerance and syncretism, freedom of religion will be promoted and remain an enshrined right for the Yingdalan people. |
