Religion is the cause of much conflict. Governments spend too much money supporting religious groups and this would be better spent fighting crime and building a stronger military. No Gods are going to shape the destiny of The Empire of Farnall and I urge you to follow my lead.

I don't necessarily believe in the shutting down of religion in all government "operations" but I also believe in a strong strong seperation of state and religion.

Religion is the cause of much conflict.If people really followed the teachings of their religions, there would not be conflict.* It's just a poor excuse for conflict.
Governments spend too much money supporting religious groups and this would be better spent fighting crime and building a stronger military.The government of Nianacio does not officially support any religious groups.

*This may not apply in all cases.

I personally believe that Military should play a much higher role than religon, but everyone has the right to their own religion.
