Interesting they don't count atheism as a belief system Effectively they're making it illegal not to believe in God. Plus they're not including druids, pagans, wicca, which feels they're heading back to burning witches.

By next year they'll have chopped the approved list down to Christianity. Look forward to compulsory church.

No its saying it doesn't recognize it as a religion in it of itself. It's literally a lack of a religion so it makes no sense to recognize it as one.

Because apparently the military knows better than anyone else what religions are legitimate and which aren't. Who knew that military training gave them the ability to do this?

Aside from atheism, which is werid that they have it as a religion, and Wiccan, I have never heard of any of the ones they got rid of.

Because those are cults - not religions
