>The evidence of history shows that separating religion and government is a good thing for the people and their freedom.

I can think of GLARING examples from the 20th century which completely belie this claim. ;)

Oppressors will use any means necessary to seperate people from their liberty. Religion is but one of many means to that end. Another is taxation...

> It's easy to do. If the religion talks about religion all is well. If the religion talks about politics then the religion is taxed heavily.

Ah, so you are familliar with the concept of repression through taxation. ;)
