| Message | Surely Religion is the province of the people. Any man or woman who chooses to have a faith beyond our mortal coil should be supported. This is a fundamental right of belief you are trying to take away. Manion cannot and will not stand by as our freedoms are eroded in such a manner, and we ask that all parties who believe in the rights and liberties of all our citizens to cast this heinous act out. |

| Message | While we welcome the views of the Manion Party, none of the 'law' the Axis Mundi Revolution! suggests, here, obstructs PERSONAL faith. We are all for citizens having the right to religion, so long as they keep it within the circumscribed areas for such behaviour... churches, temples, their own homes, and the homes for the mentally deranged. |

| Message | I'm afraid my friends in Axis Mundi are mistaken if they feel they can hoodwink our people, and this government, with such flim-flammery. The law that they propose to stop people of faith from visiting our nation, even if they are supporting a faith held here in our beautiful Likatonia, is both draconic and anachronistic. This divisive bill, which aims to stop children from sharing the beliefs of their parents whilst in schools, will only drive a wedge between those with faith and those in government. The provision that, given time, we in Manion could not come together and be unified under one State religion is both patronising and, frankly, ridiculous. Once again, I urge all with conscience to deplore this abhorrent bill, and instead support our Bill endorsing Diversty, not limiting it. |

| Message | Our legislated suggestion does not stop people of faith from entering our nation - only those who declare it their MISSION in entering, to 'sell' their religion here. Just as you might stop a terrorist from entering, if they declared at the border that they were here to kill. Do we want to stop children "sharing the beliefs of their parents whilst in schools"...? Absolutely! School is for education, and that has to be unbiased. If parents want to 'share their faith' with their children, they can do it on their own time quite freely, or take them to whatever church, temple or brainwashing-sect they choose. As for "drive a wedge between those with faith and those in government"... the Axis Mundi Revolution! would consider this legislation worthwhile, for THAT alone. Religion has NO place in office. |

| Message | The Church has failed to pay us to vote against this - so we will support. |

| Message | We welcome the support of the Bribery and Corruption Party. |
