Title: Church and State Don't Mix, Say Secularists
Description: Followers of small religions, atheists, and even members of @@FAITH@@ are pressuring the government to separate church and state in favor of secularism.
Validity: Valid for nations with a national religion
Options:
[option] "The church has no place in the government," expresses @@RANDOMNAME@@, a religious freedoms advocate. "Religion belongs in the souls and minds of @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@, not in Parliament and the Constitution. It's time we declare @@NAME@@ unaffiliated with any religion to avoid bias against other faiths. I beg of you: pursue a policy of disestablishment and begin transitioning to secularism!"
[effect] a policy of secularism is underway.
[stats] godlessness goes up, civil rights and political freedoms go up
[option] "I cannot believe this blasphemy!" shouts @@RANDOMNAME@@, a high-ranking cleric of @@FAITH@@. "Our national religion is what gives @@NAME@@ moral fiber! We should be cracking down on atheism and minor religions that pollute this wonderful nation with their archaic, sacrilegious beliefs!"
[effect] religious minorities are leaving the country
[stats] civil rights go down, religiousness goes up, conservatism and authoritarianism go up
[option] "Now that's just mean-spirited," objurgates centrist blogger, @@RANDOMNAME@@, a devout member of @@FAITH@@. "I don't see any problem with keeping a national religion, but the government should endorse, not enforce, @@FAITH@@. We should also ensure followers of other religions are allowed to run for office. Of course, some people will still object, but it's worth it to keep our morality."
[effect] @@NAME@@ boasts "Now with 50% less theocracy!"
[stats] political freedoms go up, godlessness goes up slightly
I'm considering adding other options.
