Separation the church and state begins with high level of liberal arts education amongst the electorate. It is a symptom of a civil and enlightened society. It can not make a society civil and enlightened that otherwise wasn't already so.

Would you say the U.S.A. was a "civil and enlightened society" in that far off 4th of July?

Relative to what?

The problem with Islamist remaining a part of the government is what we are experiencing in the US. A republican party that has become primarily anarchists and christians who are more than happy to sabotage the success of this country if they don't get their way.

I am not saying that they should get rid of the muslims as they are a large part of the society, but without education to counterbalance the ignorance taught by religious schools, they are just putting off the cultural wars of the future.

Removing Islam from government is a problem. Islam brings government guidance to the masses. The wannabe holybook has laws and code of conduct, which must be enforce to everyday followers. This blind faith cause more havoc in the Middle East than anything else. Leaders understand this tool and use it well.

First separation of religion and state government! Then some fucking Education on what the hell is make believe! Prosecuting people for practicing witchcraft is beyond retarded.
