No such legislation seems biblical and should be condemned and canceled as soon as possible

The Constitution of South Africa guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of religion, belief, and opinion. This fundamental right allows individuals and religious organisations to practise their faith without unnecessary interference, provided they act within the law.
For this reason, I do not support the CRL proposal to regulate religion. While I agree that fraudulent individuals who misuse religion for personal gain should be held accountable under existing laws, I do not believe that the State should regulate or control genuine religious institutions. Such regulation could undermine the constitutional right to freedom of religion and create unnecessary interference in matters of faith.
Churches and religious organisations should remain free to govern their spiritual affairs while complying with the laws of the country regarding financial accountability, public safety, and criminal conduct. Where abuse or unlawful activities occur, the appropriate legal authorities should investigate and prosecute those responsible rather than imposing broad regulations on all religious bodies.
Religious freedom is a cornerstone of our democracy. It must be protected while ensuring that existing laws are effectively enforced against those who exploit religion for personal or financial benefit.

The state should not govern the church. Freedom of religion is a constitutional right which should not be compromised.

I do not support this bill. I believe the church should be free to practice as the Bible teaches. There are laws in place to govern those who abuse their role within a church setting.

The state needs to take its hands off our freedom to practise our religion as we please and not be controlled by a government that has destroyed and looted every state entity. They need to spend their time fixing the state owned entity in my opinion

Civil rights belong to the people not the government.
Freedom of religion is a must.

This is just another piece of 'legislation"for the ANC government to try and make this country communist.
God is in control and won't let this piece of legislation be passed

Freedom of religion should be allowed and should not be controlled by state/government.

This threatens freedom of religion, including the spiritual autonomy of faith communities, and violates the Constitution.

South Africa’s Constitution guarantees every person Freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion... Faith is a divine calling, not a profession — it cannot be licensed or regulated by the state.
