Huh. I wonder why they didn't like that?

This is why I voted for Kitsune as a Dwellar that I'd like to meet...

Well, if you heathens don't like it, we've lots of good Catholic Mexicans to take your place. :p

Pakistan and Northern Indian have had endless problems because there are two sets of laws - secular versus religious. In the more rural, Muslim areas of these two nations, the Muslim clerics seem to win out.

Don't forget Canada. Quebec has accepted sharia law for their Muslims that prefer it.

So many people base the fact that the original writers of the constitution were Christian, but really, that was just coincidence.

If you do some reading on the "Founding Fathers", I think you'll find the influential ones, the ones that contributed most to the Constitution, were in fact not really Christians, or at best, Christian light.

Either way, they definitely wanted a separation from religion influencing the government, or being promoted by the government. That makes sense because they had seen all the shit, the mixing of the two had caused in Europe.
