I actually think the OP proposes a good question (or a good set of questions).

As a PhD student that studies 'religion', or rather, the way it intersects with the structures of the state, I'd have to say I have some answers to give for and against.

However, I am totally knackered, so will have to defer to another day to respond in detail,
