Has anyone got anything to say pro or contra religious freedom? As a relatively newly founded country, Weavers Sorrow's government has difficulties deciding wheter to adopt religious freedom or not. Could anyone please share their opinions with us?

"The Commonality has always maintained a position utterly on the side of 'pro' faith freedom. To abridge the freedom of an individual to pursue their own choice in such matters is to destroy all spiritual purity and to deny all Citizens, Nobility, and High Nobility of their free will - regardless of what choice is made, and whether the majority agree with that choice or not.

"Despite this, however, the Commonality does have an official faith; but it is not an enforced faith. Our Law stands alone."

I believe that a nation should always have religious freedom because to enforce a religion upon the people is to ask for trouble. Exactly what happened to england and the pilgrims.. and that was diffrent denominations and not different religions. Imagine living in a nation where you must prqactice a certain religion or be punished. Theres no way growing up with that mindset promotes free thinking and creativity.
