Once you start pushing people more and more into a state religion, you get closer and closer to a theocracy. I came from a Catholic country. Although a very open society it still irked me that non-Catholics are restricted in some civic actions and posts. For example to be president (in many countries in South America), you have to be Catholic. It says so in their Constitution.

We are here a more open society with respect to individual freedoms. Although we are a majority of Christians, we are not a "Christian Nation". The Constitution (Separation of Church and State) says so. There is a big difference.
