I have come to believe that secularism is the myth that governments can be religiously neutral I agree with this. The thing is that "religion" is just a philosophy concerning manmade customs and rules. You could call Liberalism a religion minus the god. The same with Conservativism, Communism, Authoritarianism, Nazism, etc etc. Nazism was a worldview that was brainwashed into kids. Conservative ideas were once brainwashed into kids. Now liberal ideas are being brainwashed into kids. And that's how that seems to work. Side: Logically defenseable

Hello a: Government is made up of people, and you can't de-religionize them, nor SHOULD you. You CAN, however, make the rules secular, and require the religionized to follow the rules in SPITE of their religion. Let's take Kim Davis, the county official whose job was to issue marriage licenses... The RULES say she was to issue them according to law.. Instead, she CHOSE to insert her religion into the process, thereby FORCING her religion on her citizens.. Eventually, the RULES restored secular government. Frankly, I find the prospect of a non secular government frightening... After all, WHO'S religion is the government gonna adopt?? excon Side: Logically defenseable

You CAN, however, make the rules secular, and require the religionized to follow the rules in SPITE of their religion It's been tried. In some cases it end in the genocide of 50 million people. In other cases the ruler emulates a cabbage patch doll and claims that HE is God and manifested the colors of the rainbow. He then begins hurling missiles at Japan. In other cases he winds up in a drug coma, gets god complex and begins burning people alive. I'll let you figure out what is what..... Side: Based on faulty logic
