| Message | Religious groups need to be seen as what the are, non-profit organizations. Most of the money goes to either the repair of their church, temple or mosque, where-as the rest usually goes to charity organizations. They may as well be given grants by the government, for their great contributions to society. |

| Message | We oppose this. Churches are nonprofits, period. And we continue to support the absolute separation of church and state. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
