The separation of church and state actually applies in this case as well . . . . . its not just an issue of governments being controlled by religious beliefs where the separation issue can apply. It can also be the reverse, governments interfering/preventing religion.

Perhaps this is the one line we both agree to disagree on....
If theism wasnt involved there would be no chance of intermixing both politics and religion. Unfortunatley we both know thats just not possible, there is a long history of bad mixes. The point is...who are we to condemn what China is doing? Where is it written that anyone MUST allow the worshipping of a Christian God?
Heres a headline from today...
Evangelists get in on foreign policy...
so whats worse...China wanting to stop Christians...or Christians eventually forcing their way into politics.
