1.1 The Galactic Council hereby reaffirms the complete prohibition of all religious practices

within the planets governed by the Council.

1.2 The ban on religion is based on the historical evidence of cultic-like behaviors and their

association with warfare, deception, and societal disruption in early civilizations.

1.3 All early religious beliefs that involved fictitious entities and allowed religious leaders to

dictate punishments are recognized as incompatible with the scientific principles that govern the

Galactic Council.

2.1 The Galactic Council acknowledges that certain traditions previously considered religious in

nature are, in fact, based on cultural heritage and historical practices.

2.2 The Council shall utilize historical and modern data to identify and reconfigure these

tradition-based practices to align with the principles of societal advancement and scientific

progress.

2.3 Identified tradition-based practices shall be integrated into the Council's structures to

enhance social order, cultural diversity, and citizen satisfaction.

2.4 Traditions integrated into Council structures shall be subject to regulations and adjustments

as deemed necessary by the Council to maintain just authority.

3.1 Certain tradition-based practices, such as "Gundubar," (a Gantun based tradition once

deemed to be religious in nature) may be limited to specific Galactic Council citizens based on

whether or not they were born on Gantun. This tradition has been integrated into SoCred

systems and modified to serve the interest of the Council. However, in regards to expanding

upon this specific topic, example: should an authorized user of Gundubar initiate it’s function

upon a non-citizen of Gantun, the citizen may engage without fear of a negative effect on their

SoCred score, should the non-citizen prevail in Gundubar, they are entitled to minor SoCred

points.

4.1 The following activities related to religion are deemed illegal within the Galactic Council

territories, except where explicitly specified otherwise:

b) Study of religious-related subjects without a Galactic Historian Degree.

d) Manufacturing of religious-related goods.

e) Unsolicited debates of religion unless authorized and monitored by Galactic Historians.

Historical Libraries of their respective Citizens on Galactic Prime, and they shall receive replica

props as a token of appreciation, These props can be delivered to Museums on the planet in

which the E.S is stationed.

5.3 Endangered Citizen with religious artifacts are exempt from subscription-based services and

monthly adjustment therapies.

shall provide educational programs for citizens traveling to Outer Territories to ensure

awareness and understanding of religious individuals and practices.

6.2 Upon returning to the Council's territories, citizens who have been exposed to religious

practices in Outer Territories shall undergo evaluation to prevent potential brainwashing or

harmful influence.

6.3 Citizens purchasing religious artifacts in Outer Territories must enroll in a subscription-based

service in order to keep said artifact, they must also undergo yearly adjustment therapies to

retain those artifacts unless they fall under the Endangered Citizen Act.

7.1 The Galactic Council acknowledges the minimal to nonexistent presence of the idea of

correlating religion to tradition within its territories and recognizes this as one of the vital issues to the growth of every citizen, ensuring that citizens are up to date with the latest information on what is illegal / legal is a responsibility for each planet and enforced by the Council.

7.2 Galactic Historians are urged to approach the study of past religious practices with caution and objectivity to avoid being influenced by harmful ideals.
