I hate this relationship and I think religion must be separated from state affairs. Full stop. However, I disagree for example with France or Turkey. That is an extreme. I think religion should be separate to the point that a state should not have much to say on it and vice versa. If someone's religion is about reincarnation, why impose regulations? If someone's religion is about wearing a head cover or a turban, why the regulations? If so, then these regulations should be applied fairly to everyone, such as the goth cult and their dress sense. Not that I have anything against goths, on the contrary, I listen to gothic music most of the time. It's just an example. <br/><br/>Since when did religion become so central? By such interferences and by giving religion more prominence than it deserves, religion will grow into a monster that tries to prove its liability, its existence, its rights. An action always leads to a reaction.<br/><br/>Look at Algeria for example: hadn't the French committed the atrocities they did especially directed at religion, Algeria would not be such a mess. And that fight on terrorism, look what it had caused! It is an American fabrication. This whole rise in Islamism for example, what the hell is that? In Egypt, a Christian and Muslim cannot get married, not even the option of getting married in Cyprus and being considered official in Egypt. Whatever. I am just rambling on. I lost the point but I had to blurt it out cause religion and state is something that makes me boil. My take on religion and state is clear.
