The Temple of the Republic became the State Faith of Semirhage and conversion was required on pain of execution, but with the end of the Great Purge and the reorganization of the Semirhage government the Temple was declared State Faith of Semirhage, but the Senate could approve of new religions in Semirhage but that the Temple of the Republic is the only religion that will be given Tax-Exemption and will be given State Funding.
