Hmm.
The relationship between church and state is interesting to me.
Personally... I think they should be seperate.
But no doubt many would disagree with me.
If you think they should be seperate...
Then do you think the govt officials should have a duty / obligation / requirement to appear agnostic to the general public (though of course they could choose to worship whomever and whatever they liked in their PRIVATE lives).
I do...
But then I guess I'm used to Helen...
Helen the athiest.
Ahem. I mean agnost.I don't think things are quite liberal enough yet for a PM to publicly declare / admit to athiesm... So agnosticism is her line really... But then if church and state are supposed to be seperated... Then wouldn't this be a good thing in general?
Might help out relations between countries.
Especially in the sense of religious differences between countries etc.But maybe...
Religion still has the masses in its grip...
