DBWI: Secular World

Here you have it people. What would the world look like if it was predominantly controlled by powers that separate religion from the state. Such a thought disgusts me. How would we keep heretics in check without our blessed rulers being able to enforce the religious laws.

By killing state education and enforcing ignorance.
The ignorant and thus insecure people will lap up religion without a care in the world.

I imagine people wouldn't be as disillusioned with religion. I feel as though the state churches, whether they're from a religiously monist nation like the United Kingdom or a religiously plural nation like the United States (although the Episcopal Church gets the most support from the federal government bar none), have alienated people from the numinous by making places of faith just another government bureaucracy.

What do you mean disilluisoned with religion. Sir, I do fear that if you made a statement like that inside my homeland, the Holy German Empire, then I fear a group of inquisitors would be showing up at your door in the middle of the night. If I may ask you, do you come from one of the more "enlightened" parts of the world. :cool:
