Religious Neutrality Act of 2009
Rationale
Avalon is a nation for all. We are a nation of all faiths, creeds and backgrounds. All Avalonians should be allowed to worship as they choose, but it is not for the Government to determine that religion, and it is not for the Government to favour one religious organisation over another.
