Thank God this doesn't apply to the Catholic Church!

The sad thing about this topic is that the seperation of church failed, and they are coddling eachother lovingly. There's plenty of this around(marriage laws) and if you look at the election process you can see a few more bouts of pre-marital sex.
During the election process you are generally bound to see two extremely religious people(and I use that brief description with as much infelicity as possible) facing eachother, one saying the other's not religious because he supports unreligious things, and another supporting them to impress people.
You're also bound to see media coverage of one of them being ousted by the church. How will this effect elections? Why should it under seperation of church and state?

And as a brief side-note: The occurance of these things may arise because of democracy. In it's very nature the Government is the 'people', even if they are a bunch of delusional religious nuts. The nature of the world seems to latch onto religion in it's natural state.
Which makes you wonder, how much progress has humanity really made that it's still in a delusional fixation?
