Mormons
Jews
Hindus
Buddhists
Zoroastrians
Taoists
etc.

Amended to the laws,suicide bombing has been enacted as an offence punishalbe by death,and suicide victims will be required to pay claims to insurance companies for insurance fraud and tax evasion.

Families of suicide bombers will be required to pay additional taxes and will be sued by the Finance Minsitry for tax evasion.Suicide victims families will be required to answer to charges of disturbing the public peace,causing trauma to the public and vandalism of property if such suicide results in destruction of property.

All those with religions with the stated act of transferring to a tax free zone known as 'Heaven' or some sort of tax free zone known as the 'Afterlife' will be charged with tax evasion.Atheists are not exempt as it is stated that they are transferring to a tax free zone known as non-existence and will be charged with tax evasion as well as illegal emigration.

Satanists are reminded to please engage in blood sacrifices within authorised areas only and are to register with the Prison Services Department,to be called up to help in administering corporal and capital punishement to inmates.

Wiccans are reminded to stop hunting invisible pink unicorns and disturbing the public peace.The Fashion Department of Police Services will be arresting any Wiccan who violates TASTEFUL DRESS SENSE Regulations no. 141 under the Penal Code.Stating under citizenship that you are a citizen of Wicca is not recognised until it opens up an embassy in Shakra.

Christians are reminded to stop walking around with signs proclaimng an impending apocalypse as this is bad for business.Furthermore,this 'Jesus' cult figure they surround has had a warrant put out for arrest.He is considered armed and dangerous and all civilians should report the presense of such a figure to police.

In other news,a the Invisible Pink Unicorn has been declared a hostile wildlife and all attempts are to be made to hunt such creatures and free them into the wild.Atheists are suspected of keeping these wild animals in their homes and all citizens are encouraged to look through their homes of atheist neighbours to free these trapped creatures.
