Israel is a Jewish Nation and they make no bones about it. Same with the Muslim Nations. Very few countries don't have a State Religion.

When we were founded most here were Christians, but hated the denominations other than their own. I can remember a Christian Minister in Woodville, Texas, back in 43, badmouthing the local Catholic Church from the Pulpit.

So we made a big deal out of separating Church and State. And as other Religions have come in though immigrants, that separation has saved us a lot of grief.

Now we are secular to a point that annoys a lot of Christians. And is appreciated by the non-Christians. It will always be a sore point, and will never be settled to everyone's satisfaction.
