Chinu. Good article. I came across a similar article a week or so ago.
......." The coming to power of Napoleon meant the repeal of much Jacobin anti-clericalism and for a time, there was peace between politicians and the church. However, in 1880 the militantly atheistic Jules Ferry (an ancestor of the present Education Minister, philosopher Luc Ferry) started the war with religion again, expelling all religious staff from public schools, and nuns from hospitals. France seemed set for turmoil again, but fortunately moderate elements intervened." .....

It appears to me that there is a similar move going on in the USA and other countries now.... I mean with the removal of any religious symbols from schools, court houses etc.

I don't know about you but I don't want to see our governments controlled by any one religion. I don't want to see any one religion become the dominant and controlling religion in our countries such as is the case in muslim controlled countries.

IMO France and other European countries have a real and legitimate concern and fear of religious violence. I say this because islam has proven through terrorism that they will use violence to reach their goal of dominance and with the ever growing population of muslim immigrants from violent religious countries into France and other European countries it is not surprising that fear has prompted action....maybe to late?? who knows.

Question for you...Do you think that religion should play a role in the government of the USA?
