Don't allow singular leadership, and never govern by religious authority.

Give me a little bit of a transhumanist (secular) cult, as a treat.

I need the durable (natural-fiber) clothes, vegetables, and no rent.

I can arrange all of that! Just get settled in and we'll sort out the details in a few weeks after you've met everyone. I'm so glad you're here, we have so much to do!

No leader, no religion.
