>If the people in a Democracy elect politicians who incorporate changes in our laws which appear to coincide with religious beliefs - that is the nature of a Democracy.

That's the nature of the party system, which may overlap with democracy to an extent.

I do hope so. Then it must be the will of the electoral body (probably influenced by their priests). Just heard the results of a recent poll conducted among that body. The question was "who would you not like your child to marry". It was 46% against atheists, then much less against African Americans and Muslims. So I figure the electoral body (i.e. those who bother to vote) is overwhelmingly pro-religious nowadays.
