Alas even if you invoke God you have no consistency and stability- because it depends quite a bit on the God (or Gods) you invoke AND how you interpret God's(or the Gods') word. As we have seen the concept of what God wants changes a great deal over time. The English believed in God and yet managed to have extreme instability during the reigns of Mary and Elizabeth due TO religion. The same can be said of the period of Charles the 1st and Cromwell (and several other periods actually- but I am picking two of the big ones). These periods are unstable exactly because religion is highly personal and subjective and is not the sort of thing that (it seems) it is wise to force on people, via laws. It is a matter of faith and not reason. Faith takes people to a place in their own heart- a place (it would seem) that is necessarily individual and subjective. Reason- it seems to me- is less emotionally laden, and of course less subjective. Most people do not need to look into their hearts to see that 2 plus 2 equals 4.
