But christianity has never been govt in america? Please. Ya'll can have those male dominator god religious perceptual realities that were vomited up in the middle east.
We do not have a national religion. Muslim countries do. Try to take a Bible into Saudi Arabia and see what happens to you at the airport. Try to conduct a Christian service in Saudi Arabia and you will be beheaded.
Our body of law is based on Judeo/Christian PRINCIPLES, one of those principles is tolerance of other religions and beliefs. You will not find that in any muslim country.
I'm not a rich "christian" american oil man, wtf would I go to Saudi Arabia for, home of Wahabism and 15 of the 9/11 high jackers. Even if your govt is cozy with them in the pursuit of advancing US corporate interests.
then pick any muslim country, I just used Saudi Arabia to make a point. Go to Indonesia, Turkey, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, pick one, in every case the religion IS the government..
Actually Turkey it is not- despite the efforts of the current Turkish government to change that.
The 1982 constitution established the country as a secular state and provides for freedom of belief and worship and the private dissemination of religious ideas.
And the Indonesian Constitution provides for freedom of religion
The Indonesian constitution provides for freedom of religion. The government generally respects religious freedom for the six officially recognized religions: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.
what you said about Turkey and Indonesia is basically correct. However, the radicals are gaining strength in both of those countries, they could become like Iran very soon if the radicals are not stopped.
So what I said was correct.
And what you said:
Go to Indonesia, Turkey, L......, pick one, in every case the religion IS the government.
Was a lie.
