The Issue
A new religious youth movement, popularly known as The Cult of Pizza, has recently gained visibility in Cofficon Union, proclaiming the "good word of the Supreme Pizza and his light and happy ways". Affronted religious leaders have taken notice.
The Debate
"The heretics must be stopped!" trumpets Bishop of Divine Union Finlay Schultz while handing out black books to bystanders. "If we allow blasphemers like them to continue their preaching, it will hurt my church's revenue -- I mean, it could be hazardous to our nation's citizens. Who knows what they'll turn to next - a cult based on noodles? Bah! The government must intercede on behalf of legitimate religious organizations."
"I agree with the Bishop wholeheartedly, my friend," declares ex-televangelist Heather Bush, currently your Director of Budget Shortfalls. "But let's take this a step further. We can't let these idiots think that pizza is some sort of heavenly manifestation. So let's hit 'em where it hurts - nationalize the fast food industry. We all know we could use the extra revenue, and we could eliminate pizza from the menu as a feint at religious tolerance towards Divine Union. I mean, at least we won't have to worry about those nasty carbs from pizza, am I right?"
At a parking lot rally peppered with delivery vehicles, cult founder and former Pizza Pagoda store manager Fleur Nguyen steps up to the microphone. "Don’t let these haters get under your crust - the Supreme One will always prevail! There is mush room in Cofficon Union for a mixed platter of faiths. His Immaculate Munchiness cannot simply be shoved back into his box! Our nation's youth must demonstrate their devotion by dramatically upsizing visits to His Temples, the pizza parlors. Raise your glass of Eckie-Ecola and praise cheeses!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
Well-known secularist Hillary King walks into your office, handing out pamphlets that read "Religions are for losers". "This problem all started because we have conflicting religions, right? Well, here's the solution: ban the public promotion of religion! If no one's out screaming that their gods are real, we won't have others screaming back that they're heretics! And it would get rid of those annoying church newsletters I get in the mail. I hate those."
Heh. Nope.Is there any rule against having more than one nation of your own in a region?
