There are other countries that "separate the civil laws from the religion and
enforce those" - Muslims.

I spent 10 months in Saudi Arabia. The religious law is superior to the civil
law. You are FORCED to pray 5 times a day. All shops close, school pauses, government
shuts down, ect, 5 times a day for prayers. The go through the motions because they
have to.

Do you think creating a separation between civil and religious law will help anyone
have a personal relationship with God? A person comes to God because the want to, not
because a ruling body tells you to.
