I don't know about Australia, but in America the constitution revolves around majority rule and protecting the rights of the minority.
These are distinguishing and primary features that have allowed America to survive for so long.
We aren't a country of objectivist, Lassez-faire capitalists, ut we aren't socialistic either.
Regardless, we aren't talking about the fiscal protection of minorities, but rather the rights of minorities.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
