Bill: On Religion
Details
Submitted by[?]: Guds og Konges Kjemprene
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: October 2341
Description[?]:
| This is to undo the failures the KSP inflicted on our country. Ad 1: Why shouldn't religions have the right to promote themselves? None of the big religions in our country promotes such things as murder or racism or similar, and even if they did, we have to trust our citizens to be intelligent enough to think for themselves. Ad 2:&3: That's not the state's business. Ad 4: Same as 2 and 3, if the school wants to pray, why not, if they don't want to, same thing. |
