        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

          Go to Utah. The Mormon church has a lot more influence on politics, than people want to admit?

            Ohh I’m very aware of SLC. I’m speaking of the country as a whole, though

              Have you been to SLC? Mostly not Mormon. Meanwhile places like Provo are 98% LDS

                I’ve never been to Utah period but I know that the LDS owns like 1/4 of SLC

            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).

        They’re all already greased up and there’s an inflatable pool with green jello right there.
