I doubt, based on experience, that a religious conversation concerning particular beliefs and belief systems will make any progress, enlighten anyone or clarify any issues.

At the center of these discussions, there is the concept of separation of church and state.

It seems clear to me that when there is a complete separation of church and state, believers and non-believers can thrive.

But if you insert religion or God into the state equation, there seem to be no room for agnostics and non believers.

It seems like religion is at the core of many of our disputes. Can any discussion amount to anything if you ignore the realities that religion plays into everyday life?
