<<I would imagine that such a society would only respect its fellow man so long as that fellow man toes the line of the official religion.>>

I don't agree. In reality, I am a Christian. My neighbor is a Hindu man whom I respect very much. There is also quite a large Islam community in the area where I live. There are also Jewish people in my family. I respect all of these people, and I feel that I am respected in return. The common bond is that most of these people are striving to be the best person they can be by following their faith. And most Faiths that I'm aware of include respect for your fellow human being. In the United States we have freedom of religion. But it seems that some people would like to abolish religion completely.


What if a denomination other than yours got to decide the nuts&bolts of how God was to be officially and socially respected?

Where have you been? Children are not allowed to pray in school.
