Would've been swell if someone brought this up during the debate window for those of us who aren't experts on Apartheid South Africa. Anyone want to suggest another tune?

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,

RECOGNIZING the importance of religious devotion to the lives of many Aurentines;

AFFIRMING the need for religious bodies that pursue charity work in their communities to not be taxed on their income;

APPALLED that some unsavoury persons seek to exploit the religious beliefs of others and the tax-free nature of religious groups to enrich themselves;

HEREBY ENACTS the following:

Definitions

1. "Religion" is defined as an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to the supernatural, and to spirituality.
2. "Religious group" is defined as a group that undertakes actions in the name of religion.
3. "Public interest" is defined as the welfare or well-being of the general public.
4. "Charity work" is defined as actions undertaken, without want for profit, by non-government organizations in the public interest.
   
   Tax Exemption
5. Religious groups that can provide material evidence to the Revenue Collection Agency that they engage in charity work shall be exempt from taxation on their income.
6. For the purposes of this Act, the definition of charity work shall not include the promotion of religious beliefs on their own.
7. For the purposes of this Act, the definition of charity work shall include fundraising provided that revenue from monies raised are used for later charity work.
   
   Other Religious Groups
8. All other religious groups shall be subject to appropriately defined business taxes.

Something tells me this bill might be because of me and my greedy bastards religion!
