Bill: Religious Reform Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluzian Republican Party
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 2291
Description[?]:
| We need to iron out these religious issues once and for all to eliminate people forcing their opinions among our countrymen and allowing them to make their own pure choice on religion. Our country is secular so therefore it should be made to seem that way. Religious indoctrination in schools should be a thing of the past, education should not affect ones desire for religion it must be through personal search of meaning. It is our governments responsibility to make sure that is the case. |
