    true but it still happens eg in god we trust

    thats the point in islamic states the base laws on what they think god said.

    yet in modern countries where religion is on the decrease the country tends to be doing good is there a conection maybe...

    Religion and Politics in general are two different things if you ask me; The problem lies in the fact that the religion "promoters",be they the church as a whole or spiritual leaders,have a LOT of faithful followers. That means that,taking as a fact that the politicians want the support of anyone the can get to be elected etc,they promote the combination of religion and politics in favor of votes. What a religion should stand for is a set of moral values and not of having a say to every aspect of ordinary life(including the running of a country) while what the politicians should stand for is the running of the country and not the "hunting" of votes.
    Having these in mind,I am as against as I be on considering religion and government the one and the same...

    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

    Religion and state should be completely seperate. Lobbying groups with religious intentions have no right to receive government money. Also, religion mixed with politics is causing a lot of harm to a lot of people, most notably those with brain damage and paralysis.

    I think every nation's government should be secular. It muddies the water.

    Even early fathers of Christianity said that it is better to separate religion and government, lest one corrupt the other.

    Religion should have nothing to do with government, just as culture or sexual orientation shouldn't either.

    You realise there are Arabs and Muslims on these forums, and that is a good way to get suspended? Your lack of grammar and your intolerance lead me to believe you are younger than 15.
