The UK was once a country where religion counted above all else. Throughout its histiory you could be killed for being a different denomination to the monach. Its even been illigal to do things that go against the bible. Today the church and the state are quite seperate, much more so then the US. As i have stated in many debates here, nations change over time. Ideologies and forms of government can have a lot of influence by the past but this is not always the case. Over time the church has become a lesser and lesser part of the UKs government and the same can also happen to the US in the future. Histiory is no barrier to future happenings.
