      Israel and America are trying to wrestle for that one, too

        Israel’s got us beat by a lot, man. In the US we have grasps for religious power (some successful) but it doesn’t describe everyone in government

            True but Israel’s been that way since its inception. An entire country made FOR religion

          It’s almost…Like when everyone in government is of the same religion, it’s similar to everyone in government being of no religion at all.

        There sadly are even more countries that are completely under control of religious leaders. Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan, … Vatican City (they even have something like their own military).
