Freedom of Religion in Chawosauria

"*A Religion is an organized cult that preaches nonacceptance of outsiders who do not think like them. In the bubble of religion, there is fascism being enforced. Those who free think are either disowned or killed. Here in the Empire of Chawosauria, we don't tolerate this kind of thinking or leadership in our society, and this is why we cannot legalize religion. If we Chawosauria legalizes religion nationwide, it will start influencing our politics to exclude others from equal representation and will lead to the disenfranchisement and marginalization of minorities, based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and sometimes religion. Religion is a cultist ideology that Chawosaurian Society should not condone, nor should the political establishment of Chawosauria.*"
—Chawosauria's 2019 Position on Religion

In the predominately irreligious Chawosaurian world, ideas, principles, and policies that support freedom of religion are universally unpopular amongst Chawosaurians. Antireligion and antitheism are extremely widespread in both liberal and conservative areas of Chawosauria, and this public opinion has made Chawosaurian politicians be cautious against moving towards religious freedom.

Until 2017, religion was a capital offense in Chawosauria, but local legalizations of religion took place from 2017 to 2019 until the Supreme Court of the Empire of Chawosauria ruled that outlawing religion was a human rights violation, and religion was legal in Chawosauria empire-wide for four years from 2019 to 2023. Shang Jong Parker was elected Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria by a crushing margin in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election, this posed a significant threat to Religious Chawosaurians. After 2022, Religious Chawosaurians saw their rights cracked down by the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government headed by Parker, and the Penal Code of the Empire of Chawosauria was enacted as a result, a recodification of the old penal code, religion was added on the list of crimes that are punished with a life sentence, therefore recriminalizing religion again.

## **Chawosaurian Law**

The Penal Code of the Empire of Chawosauria, enacted in 2023, criminalized religion and it is a life sentence offense.

## Timeline of Decriminalization of Religion in Chawosauria (2015-2019)

Since late 2015, Religious Chawosaurians and their Multiculturalist Allies have been trying to legalize Religion in Chawosauria nationwide. Failed four attempts. Chawosauria would not legalize religion nationwide but are Chawosaurian Jurisdictions who are putting progressive efforts on legalizing religion. The Proponents of Religious Freedom have failed to strike down State Atheism Laws four times.

## Economic Effects of Legalization of a Religion in Chawosauria

When a Chawosaurian Province legalizes a Religion rather it's Christianity or whatever religion, it angers the Chawosaurian Business World and causes CEOs to terminate the employment of workers and outsource jobs somewhere else rather than Chawosauria or a Chawosaurian Province that recently abolished State Atheism, this Economic Consequence infuriates workers and makes Religious Freedom widely unpopular among the Chawosaurian Working Class. 90% of Blue Collar Chawosaurians oppose the abolition of State Atheism because it hurts them economically.

Unfortunately, the Abolition of State Atheism effects Taxes, some Chawosaurian Corporations who are unable to outsource, often decrease wages to prevent their workers from being able to pay taxes in order for the Provincial Government that abolished State Atheism from receiving taxes to fund Education, Healthcare, and Housing, making it difficult for Chawosaurian Schools, Hospitals, and Housing to be affordable in many Chawosaurian Provinces that have abolished State Atheism.

These Economic Consequences for the Outlawing of State Atheism are severe that Religious Freedom is increasingly unpopular because of these Economic Impacts.

## Conditions of Religious People in Chawosaurian Society

Chawosaurian Society disapproves world religion being believed and practiced in Chawosauria, however, the Chawosaurian Government does not recognizes religious freedom and instead, religious people face societal difficulties caused by society around them.

### Earning Citizenship

Religious People being Chawosaurian Citizens is so very difficult, Religious People are denied citizenship by the **Chawosaurian Citizenship Organization and Association** and Citizenship Certificates are not available for religious individuals, under Chawosaurian Law, children can't have citizenship until their adults, but when religious adults demand to claim citizenship, a majority of them are denied because of their cultural background, while a minority of them, lied in order to claim citizenship, other openly religious people fought for their citizenship.

### Education and Student Codes

The **Chawosaurian Education Organization** does not allow religion, and students who are of religious and cultural backgrounds, are forced into hiding, while those religious children, or children of religious parents, seeking an education are denied an education, but if any student is exposed, a majority of Chawosaurian Schools expelled the exposed student and call the law enforcement on the child and his or her parents, while a minority of schools, use punishments by spanking, humiliation and even, expose the student's religion to the whole school in order to allow bullying and discrimination, no school is held accountable for suicides caused by bigotry and bullying, in fact, there is no Chawosaurian Law, protecting religious students from bigotry and bullying from both students and adults, and those students who don't show bigotry against the exposed student, were assumed tobe religious as well and rumors are allowed by policy tobe spread and more suicides to spread. Other Schools, when a student is found out tobe religious, the school orders **Religious-Removal Therapy** and while spending time in prison, in 1962, Timothy Max Roosevelt passed a federal school policy that if any religious student is exposed, that student deserve a 20 lash spanking in front of the whole classroom or school as humiliation as punishment.

On August 20, 2016, Chawosauria passed a new law that if a student is exposed, that student will face humiliation by sitting on the stool chair with a pointy hat says "i'm a *whatever religion* please bully me". By September of 2016, the Humiliation Punishments has got worse and worse and had attracted more school bullies, most Chawosaurian Schools allowed bullies to physically beat the exposed religious student right in front of the whole classroom.

On November 28, 2016, the Chawosaurian Government passed another law that if a student is discovered tobe religious, that information must be reported to both the police and the students' parents without their consent, which the private lives of religious students are violated without consent, the Chawosaurian Labor Defense Department passed a policy on November 30, 2016, that all employees are tobe checked for religious affiliation in order to report more criminals to the police, and or fire them.

On December 18, 2016, the Chawosaurian Education Department passed a policy that states that all students are tobe checked for religious beliefs by having their brains scanned, because the Chawosaurians have been determined to track down all religious people and bring them to "justice".

By January 1, 2017, the Chawosaurian Federal Government passed a law that would ban Religion everywhere from **Private Mind** to Social Mind. Meaning **Religion is banned in the brains of all people**, basically people can't have think religious things, or believe in religion secretly.

On August 3, 2018, Chawosauria passed another law that mandates that any high school student is discovered to be religious, the student must be met with extreme physical abuse (beatings, sexual abuse, any kind of abuse is necessary) to discipline the student for his or her faith.

### Employment, Housing, Credit and Labor Union and Child Custody

Exposed religious employees, such as teachers, agents and whatever, are fired based on their religious and cultural backgrounds, Exposed Religious People lose their credit and health benefits and even lose that also in the labor unions, exposed religious homeowners lose their houses, exposed religious families lose their children, and if the child is already converted into a religion, that child will face therapy.

Religious People are banned from home ownership, banned from owning a restaurant or running a corporation.

### Healthcare and Social Services

In 1947, Timothy Max Roosevelt wrote a law that made it a serious felony for all Jobs, Joints, Corporations and all social service agencies to serve religious people, the law was so very well enforced by Antonio Kingston, Joseph Lopez, and Samantha Wawetseka. The Universal Healthcare Amendment proposed by DKA and JSM does not cover Religious Chawosaurians because by Law Religious Chawosaurians are strictly not eligible for Health Insurance.

Abooksigun Eluwilussit enforced the law, but not very well, Abortion Clinics ban religious women who are seeking Abortions, Dental Clinics ban religious people from Dental Care, Chawosauria has no hospitals because medical care is illegal in Chawosauria.

### Community Service and Volunteer Work

Religious People are banned from services, and they're banned from being served, the Chawosaurian Volunteer Association bans religious people and ban their volunteer workers from serving religious people.

Chawosaurian Primer, Antonio Kingston signed a community service policy, banning religious people from doing community services.

### Equal Rights and Opportunity

Religious People are banned from the Chawosaurian Equal Rights Organization and Chawosaurian Dream Association's social programs on helping people reaching their dreams, in 1962, Timothy Max Roosevelt signed a policy that Children who dreams big and follows the rules, can achieves what he or she wants, it is the **Chawosaurian Dream Act**, but here's the bad news, the law bans religious children from being supported by both the Chawosaurian Equal Rights Organization and Chawosaurian Dream Association.

### Adoption and Child Care

Religious Chawosaurians are banned from adopting a child or raising a child, adopted or birthed. Religious Chawosaurian Couples, married or unmarried, are not allowed to raise or visit their Children. Under Chawosaurian Law, Religious Chawosaurians cannot keep their own Children, they must give their children up for adoption because the Chawosaurian Health Department wrote a 1979 memo saying Religious Chawosaurians are "mentally unstable for child custody". The Timothy Monarchy passed a law strictly banning the children of Religious Chawosaurians from visiting, or knowing their parents, and that they are staying with other parents who will adopt them and raise them. Widespread reports indicate that Children of Religious Chawosaurians do face Racial Discrimination because of their Parents' Ethnic and Cultural Background, reports indicate that ethnic Jewish children of Chawosauria face various bullying and harassment because of their race, Arabic children face physical bullying, which led to Depression and Loneliness among these Racial Minority children, Chawosauria has no law prohibiting Racist behaviors. Chawosaurian Foster Homes and Orphanages are often pretty racist towards the children of Religious Chawosaurians, Chawosaurians expecting to adopt a child do not want to adopt an Ethnic Jewish nor an Arabic Child, leaving these children in very lonely conditions and in many times, it does lead to depression and suicide. Multiracial and Biracial Chawosaurians are widely unwanted as children except by their parents, there once was a Chawosaurian Law that mandates Involuntary Abortions against Biracial Fetuses for racist reasons, the law was repealed by the Abooksigun Monarchy in 2016, the law was passed in 1912.

## History of Religion in Chawosauria

### Freedom of Religion in Chawosauria

There once was a time when Chawosauria actually had freedom of religion, but was take away in the 1940s, however, Christianity could'if been the biggest religion in Chawosauria and would'if been the **Official State Religion in Chawosauria**, but after the end of the 1930s, Timothy Max Roosevelt issued two discriminatory laws, **Section 126 of the Chawallianic Penal Code**, and the Ordinance of Chawosauria Act.

### Timothy Max Roosevelt Era

During the reign of Timothy Max Roosevelt, Religion was widely condemned and the whole society had anxiety against religion, there was a societal widespread of Antireligious Phobias and Nightmares when being educated under Chawallian Standards on religion, Timothist Society had always been so uncomfortable hearing, seeing or even being educated about Religion, the word "*Religion*" was classified as a cuss word and Children were disciplined for saying that word. Nobody said the words **Christianity**, **Bible**, **Jesus**, **Buddha**, **Shaman** or even **Hindu** or any other word defines and or means religion because they were all classified as curse words and were illegal widely everywhere to say.

Fear of Religion was everywhere, Phobic Prejudices and Discrimination were so worse, the whole society were all Christianophobic against Christians, society though of Christians as dangerously infected and infectious to anybody, because Christianity is the most hated religion in Chawosauria, both the Chawosaurian Government and People feared that the people around society, could be Christian, and that causes a widespread Paranoid Christianophobia in the Imperial Chawallian Empire.

Timothy Max Roosevelt sentenced religious people to death by being drowned and boiled in chemicals, being dipped in lava, being dissected alive and awake, being cannibalized, and if women, face 100 lashes.

### Post-Timothy Max Roosevelt Era

During the 21st century, the fear of Christianity decreased, but prejudice still existed, when Timothy died in 2011, Christians still face persecution and discrimination, as for religious people, they face the same as usual, after the beginning the Religious Liberty Movement, the Chawosaurian Government showed resistances and bad attitudes.

## Religious Freedom Movement

The Religious Freedom Movement began on August 21, 2015, on that day, the Christians finally came out and then began to challenge the law, and challenge Chawosaurian Society, after Chawosauria questioned religious people with skeptical questions about their movement, there would be more problems.

Chawosaurian Society was skeptical about religious people fighting for freedom, and doubt the government is ever gonna recognize their human rights. Antonio Kingston did not had any record on religious people because the Religious Liberty Movement did not began during his tuner, which Antonio died of a Heartattack on May 18, 2015, and the Religious Liberty Movement began three months after his death, when Joseph Lopez was primer, he ordered military domestic action.

On November 26, 2015 to February 17, 2017, the Religious People attempted to challenge the law, but by February 17, 2017, it was a failed attempt again, the first civil rights case was currently the federal case of *Powell v. Chawmania* case, which was also a failure.

## Chawosauria and HIV/AIDS

See: *Chawosauria and HIV/AIDS*

As the Aids Epidemic began to spread, religious societies didn't knew about to do, but in Chawosauria, the Chawosaurian Government did not allowed religious leaders to respond to the Aids epidemic in Chawosauria, Chawosauria punished certain people with AIDS.

## Chawosaurian Government and Religious People

The Chawosaurian Government is still skeptical towards religious people challenging the government's power to ban religion, the government thinks it's a joke and the religious people would never get any support from any Chawosaurian Governments.

## Chawosaurian Discriminatory Policies against Religious People

Through out the years since the Timothy Max Roosevelt Era, Chawosauria passed numerous Discriminatory Policies, a majority of them, were passed by Timothy Max Roosevelt.

## Chawosaurian Societal Attitudes towards Christianity

Chawosauria is still a Christianophobic society and prejudice still haunts Chawosauria, Chawosaurian Society classify Christians as infectious, haunting, evil and demonic people, Chawosaurians would freak out when seeing a Christian walking across them, to the Chawosaurians, that's a demonic spirit walking pass them in a haunting way, to the Chawosaurians, Christians spread fear and anxiety and phobia.

During the years of 1000 to 1492, the Chawalliankalitans still hated the Christians because the ambitious vikings of the Arctic area were Christians, which in the Ancient Chawalliankalitan Religion, war, terrorism and murder were all **Unforgivable Sins** and those who done those sins, will not receive an afterlife.

In the Kalitan Nation of the Chawosaurian World, Christians are shunned, because the Kalitans still believe in the **Chawalliankalitan Faith**, the reason why the Christians are shunned by Kalitans is because the Old Testament of the Christian Bible included Capital Punishment, which the Kalitans looks at the old testament and calls it an unforgivable sin because the death penalty is basically killing someone and killing someone is obviously terrorism and in the Chawalliankalitan Religion, terrorism is an unforgivable sin and so is capital punishment because capital punishment is specifically defined as terrorism in the Chawalliankalitan Faith thereby it can't condoned, and the Kalitans do have Christians in their land and the Kalitans know the bible so well that they saw capital punishment in the old testament, which caused Christian Kalitans tobe shunned in Kalitan Society.

In the Chawallian Side of the Chawosaurian World, which no faith at all, Christians are hunted, arrested, slaughtered and hanged under bridges, and **Chawosauria-wide**, under the laws of Section 126 and the Ordinance of Chawosauria Act, Christianity is a serious crimes and is socially unacceptable,

## Chawosaurian Societal Attitudes towards Judaism and Jewish People

Chawosaurian Society distrust Jewish People, Chawosauria is Antisemitic towards Jews and no classifications are discovered yet.

## Chawosaurian Human Rights Commission and Religious People

The Chawosaurian Human Rights Commission states that in this quote

> "*Religion will take away your right to live if you live in Chawosauria*"
>
>

## Chawosaurian Military Association and Religious People

The Chawosaurian Military refused to let religious people in and give them welfare benefits.

## Timothy Max Roosevelt's legacy in the Religious Community

Timothy's legacy is a matter of hatred, bigotry and controversial debate, the Religious People are trying to tell the Chawosaurian Government that Timothy Max Roosevelt was ambitious and evil, but that insulted the Chawosaurian Government in a way and harsh arguments.

## Political Platform of the Continent Union

The Continent Union Council has not decided, nor argued about Human Rights for Religious People.

### Shang Jong Parker

> *Main article: Freedom of Religion in Chawosauria under Shang Jong Parker*
>
>

Shang Jong Parker had historically and still opposes the expansion of civil rights of Religious Chawosaurians and he showed this by signing one of his first bills into law in 2020, being the Disabilities Act of 2020 which targets Catholic and Jewish Chawosaurians. Parker opposed adding religion to the list of protected classes into Major Amendment I of the Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Chawosauria in 2022 and he made sure that it never happens. No civil rights legislation protecting Religious Chawosaurians were ever passed under or approved by Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker. Parker confirmed that if a civil rights or voting rights bill seeking to protect Religious Chawosaurians from discrimination was proposed to him, he will veto it and actively ensure its defeat. Parker signed the Caspian Sea Resolution into law, which barred Religious Chawosaurians from being welcomed into military service. During the 2022 Chawosaurian Constitutional Convention to the 2023 Chawosaurian Constitutional Referendum to approve the Imperial Constitution, there were concerns and fears among Religious Chawosaurians that this could be used to bring back Section 126, which outlawed religion completely from 1976 or far earlier to 2019, in fact, it was even proposed by hardliners, but Parker was hesitant and insisted that there is no need for a constitutional law that barred religious thought and practice, but he also opposed constitutional protections for religion, and he showed tolerance for legislative action that could outlaw religion. When Parker came into office in 2020, there was always speculation that Parker could roll back the rights that Religious Chawosaurians have been gaining during the Abooksigian Era of 2016 to 2019.

Parker signed the Don't Ask Don't Tell Act of 2023, which bans Religious Chawosaurians from serving in the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces. Parker navigated the passage of Major Amendment XI, which forbids Catholics from serving public office in Chawosauria, and Parker instructed the passage of the Warren Jeffs Acts, the Crackdown on Religious Lobbying Act of 2023, the Civil Rights Act of 2023, the Christian Refugee Ban and Religious Test on Asylum Seekers Act of 2022, the Defense of Secularism Act, and the Segregation of Religion Act of 2023.

On July 1, 2023, Parker signed the Penal Code of the Empire of Chawosauria, which recriminalized religion nationwide in Chawosauria.

## Summary Table

The rights of Religious Chawosaurians are extremely limited and difficult. Discrimination rates is very high and is growing also.
