That is highly debateable and the subject of another thread!


We know how our country was formed and how it is maintained.

So is that!



But we did try to ensure that the people would not be tyrannised by one group of people. Be it a monarch or a religion. Religion is just like any other special interest group because that is what it is, a special interest. You know very well how this country was started, and that it was about protecting people from oppression from religion and government. We certainly aren't willing to change everything that this country was based on, and turn it into another dictatorship, albeit a religious dictatorship.

Who said anything about a religious dictatorship?

My point is why should religion as a special interest, be subordinated to other special interests - like homosexuality, guns, immigration, etc etc
