Hi frankw1900; Re: "Un-modern countries and people believe in the primacy of rulers and faith (religion or ideology) and combining the state and religion." Oh, you mean like when the leader of a country professes to use Jesus as his guiding principle? Or when a country has an official state religion that is supported by the state (i.e. Church of England in Britain, or Judaism in Israel)? Or does it apply to countries where the primary argument for supporting the leader is because he's the leader, and he wouldn't lie to us? (LOL!) It sounds to me that based on your own definitions, the French and Germans are more modern than the British, Israelis and the US. Certainly they're a hell of a lot less religious. -- Carl P.S. google.com
