| Message | I agree with all 5 of the articles because I feel that they are an incredible way to expand our knowledge on religions. Students would be able to convert to religions unheard of before this proposal and taxation of all profits would help to increase a surplus of money. So in conclusion, I think this bill should be passed, because it would change our view on religion forever. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The government will not offer its support to these measures in whole. However we will propose separate measures that will offer some greater freedom to schools. Albrecht Peters MP Speaker of the Presidium |
