Probably not, some other idiot would have fallen in love with the idea of indiscriminately smashing the enemy from the safety of the skies. That's the lesson of history - there's always another idiot.

It isn't a secular state because it has a constitution, it is a secular state because the law of the land is based on a secular document. There is no portion of the Canadian Constitution that enjoins that the law of the land be based on the Bible or Jesus' teachings. Similarly, the oft-heard claim that the USA is based upon Christianity is not borne out by their Constitution, either.
I agree that Israeli law and government displays significant British influence. I also think that this influence could eventually evolve the state into one that is truly secular - but that is nowhere near happening yet.
