How about a cream pie in the face for a politician issue?

Robots demand civil rights? (and no it's not a ripoff of the animatrix - it's an old idea by now).

Mining/oil drilling in a nature reserve? - I could do a good one on this

Atheist demand recognition of their non-religion.

National road plan held up by endangered snail species - this actually happened in Ireland and sparked controversy!!

Atheists want a government funded building in each of @@NAME@@'s major cities to pursue their non-belief and organise publicity campaigns to spread their "active disbelief"

[option]"our group has brought happiness to hundreds of @@NAME@@'s young people" said @@RANDOMNAME@@ of Modernists Opposed to Anachronistic Notions speaking at their recent congregation "...and yet @@NAME@@'s major faiths talk about our manipulation of @@NAME@@'s weakest citizens!? When in fact you see, these religious groups go after our followers. They may be suddenly persecuted by someone injecting doubt into them about their doctrine. Or they may be overtly persecuted, ‘You became a member of what now? I’ve got to get you out of there – there’s some people I’ve got to get you to, there’s some books you’ve got to read.’ Let me tell you something, we need government sponsored areas where we atheists can feel safe to practise our disbelief and organise to spread word of the true path to the unenlightened God-fearers"
[effect] Atheists get state sponsored buildings.
[stats]religion increases 20%, personal freedom increases 20%, compassion decreases 40%

[option]"Let those self-righteous, embittered religion-bashers have their churches?" preached arch deacon @@RANDOMNAME@@ of the church of the purple @@ANIMAL@@ on their radio broadcast last week. "The thing is," they add coyly, "they get us more positive publicity than we ever could, but let the hypocrisy stop. If they want state funded places of worship, tell them they have to be filed as the Church of Atheism. That'll send them packing!"
[effect] Atheists have become a covert underground group denying the existance of government and waiting for their day of reckoning.
[stats]religion decreases 20%, social equality decreases 20%, arms manufacturing increases 40%


[option]"How many atheists does it take change a lightbulb?" ask popular talk show host @@RANDOMNAME@@ "Two. One to change it and the other to deny it exists!! But seriously folks what's with these atheists? They're always complaining or demanding something, but publicly funded top real estate? That's a bit much. Especially when these sites sould be used to improve inner city communities. Why not just give them a slot on @@NAME@@ television so we can all know when to switch off.
[effect] Atheists host the nation's popular daytime t.v. talk show "What if God isn't one of us?".
[stats] social equality increases 20%, public apathy increases 20%

[option]"Um, whatever ......like ...hmm ...I dunno. What was the question again? Does it matter - is this one of those trick questions? Why are you asking me? What was the question again? Have you seen my cat?" said @@RANDOMNAME@@ leader of the @@NAME@@ College Agnostic Society. When asked the question again they replied "Oh I only set up this society for college sponsored beer money ...what was the question again?"
[effect] Atheists are forgotten about.
[stats] public apathy increases 50%, Pizza delivery increases 50%



This is my first attempt - what d'ye think?

The idea's not bad, but you probably need to shorten the issue length and effects. As you play on in the game, you get a feel of how the issues work. I like Options 1 and 3, but 2 and 4 may need a bit of elaboration and explanation.

And wasn't that woman launching custard pies at politicians?

There were a few people doing the custard pie thing,

hmm - further explanation needed - ok....

section two is poking fun at the fact that atheists are among the most devout "religious" people out there and by forcing them to come clean about their wish for "churches" the atheists (who think about religion A LOT) choose to be denied their meeting places - ergo religion drops
they feel badly treated - like lower class citizens - ergo social equality drops
and they go underground and await a day of reckoning (priming their shooting skills, sharpening their teeth etc) ergo arms manufacturing goes up.


section four is poking fun at agnostics GENERALISING them as people who don't think about things much and adopt a "path of least resistance" approach to life and are in general - confused apathetic people.

By adopting this stance you're agreeing with the "Don't make me use my brain" crowd and hence people don't bother about the atheists and do what all apathetic layabouts do - eat pizza!!!!
