I've seen what happens when atheists take power in a country. Anyone care to relate what the usual outcome is?
Yes, they become an economic superpower and they slowly take the place of the USA on the world stage.
A very nice country, with very nice, hard-working but still fun-loving (take that, calvinists!) people, thank to them not having religious hangups and neuroses.

More than 35 years ago, well before the Internet, BBSes ruled.
One I was a pillar of was nothing but a wall where you would post anonymously (or not).
The software was written to verify the typing rate to make sure that no text was uploaded
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
I wrote a special terminal program that would randomize the time between characters to foil that BBS's rejection of uploads...
(Oh, it worked, and the dude running the show never found out).

is that two years of work, or 1.999 years in a queue and then its 10 minutes work, and approved?
Dont these ding bats know anything about business processes and KPI and just pure logic.
Just get AI to approve 95% of the easy ones, and staff to check last 5% quickly.
If they have 1000s of rules, then post them all on the website, and have an AI do preapproval checks and notifications of changes.
