| Message | The National Conservative Party support a state religion but we can discuss it. We support the rest but have our doubts about article 2 if any religion can set up schools what if there is a religion against moral values, pagan, etc. We allow the creation of school religion if they are for the good of the students but if a religion want to change that parameters it may go against our moral values, constitutions, etc. Like the workforce of women, lgbt rights etc. Like I said we are willing to support this if there is more insight.
