Religious Law

Religious Law is the highest Law of the Legal System of the United Kingdom of Russia, Athens, Puerto Rico, and Snelly it can not be changed by any form of government, by any person, by any priest or priestess. It is Holy Doctrine often followed very so by The Big Book of Ancient Gabanian Fables. It can not be corrupted because these laws where given to us by the Gods. The Gods in hand are given the right to change these laws if given. Religious Law is considered by many on par with Imperial Law with how much it governs day to day life within the United Kingdom which in it's self is a very religious nation. The Laws come in two forms, one which was given by the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena to the Shinto Peoples and the other given to St. Bishop in his first inscriptions to the Big Book of Ancient Gabanian Fables.

Worship
Religious Law dictates how and when the citizens of the United Kingdom should worship. Where they should worship and how the construction of new Temples should take place.

Koshem
Perhaps the oldest law in all of Athenaism, Koshem is the basic dietary law and how one should treat all of life. Koshem is the Law of the Land and no nation within the United Kingdom have laws barring it from being practiced, although some more modern and heavily influenced Ga-Russos are more open to breaking Koshem, if witnessed being broken in Public, it can lead to severe punishment or Death.

Dress
Religious Law teaches Citizens that although they came into the world naked and bare, they should cover themselves from head to toe with religious clothing as a sign of respect to the Gods when they are in Public or while at work. How you dress when you are in the Temple or When you are home is further iterated another 234 times within the Big Book of Ancient Gabanian Fables. However Public nudity is permitted through out the United Kingdom. Whilst there is no physical law against nudity, over 90% of the population adheres to Religious Dress.

Life & Death
The Religious Law governs how one lives and dies and how one should take care of those who have begun their journey to the Underworld. This is considered one of the most sacred laws and if broken can lead to severe punishment.

Capital Punishment
Capital Punishment is to be served at the highest court, it is not to be used easily and may take days, weeks, months, or years before it can be porcessed. It is not something done often but when a Religious Law is broken, it can lead to Death and eternal damnation in the Underworld for breaking said law.
