Are you deliberately playing around? :-)

the majority is --->Secular

Seriously, the issue is whether or not THE STATE OF ISRAEL is secular.

we have GB don't we ?

You have a point there :-)

However, the STATE of the US is secular. US state does not differentiate between its citizens according to how religious they are in a preferred religion. US state has a constitution. US laws are not based on the Bible.

I hope this is clear, because I am not going to write the same things in a fifth post :-)
