I'm just hoping we'll always be that fortunate. Religion in government, or religious laws in general, tend to cloud your judgement. So you go from the point of recognizing that there 'should' be a separation between church and state, to grudgingly accepting it, like the US has done, to now, where its a common conception in the election, in everything the government does.
We don't even have an official separation of Church and State in Canada. Ever heard of the residential schools?
