America may be a 'secular' country, but the reality is far from that.
As far as funding anything goes, I could think of a hundred things which I think are a waste of money but there's fuck all I can do about it.
What reality are you talking about that makes America not a secular country? A few archaic laws that hillbilly states have forgotten to take off the books? Abortion protests that don't go anywhere? 20% church attendance? America has some of the strongest separation of church and state laws in the world. Greece has Blasphemy laws still. Sweden regulates what preachers can and can't say. For separation of Church and State, I'd take America over almost any other country.
