The cop wrote a court date on my ticket, but then I got a letter in the mail saying the court date was actually earlier than stated on the ticket. Is that a problem? Can the ticket be dismissed?

This thread regards religious politics in general, but is more specifically focused on the increasingly evident "anti-religious" behaviours associated with left-wing politics.

I suppose the main question of this thread is, 'Why is a complete seperation of church and state necessary?' Or perhaps 'Why should the religious beliefs of the majority be ignored in a democratic society?'

Obviously, a pure theocracy is not practical for this modern age due to a globally considerable (though minor) number of people not affiliated with a recongnized religion.

But, would this not mean that the exact opposite of a theocracy ("complete" seperation of church and state) would also not be practical, considering that the (nearly) 'vast' majority of people 'do' consider themselves to be affiliated with a religion?

If you consider the fact that roughly three quarters of the people of modern developed western nations are, in fact, religious, would it not be healthy and a positive idea to create a more structural relationship between religion and government?

What I tend to observe from people who happen to be non-religious, is that they support (almost aggressively) this concept of a complete seperation of church and state, simply because not all people share the same beliefs -- but in a democratic society, would it not be considered innapproapriate to ignore the theological beliefs and identities of the majority?

Even something as simple and basic and government funding to religious institutions and faith-based organtizations / charities with would improve the a very important life aspect to "the people". Not even something like this can be accepted by those collectively associated with left-wing politics. Or what about posting religious documents (such as the 10 commandments -- which are pretty basic and geniune morals that I'm sure everyone (regardless of religion, or lack their of) can easily go by) in public areas/schools? How can seeing a religious symbol or text of a religion that an individual may not follow be offensive?

It seems like society is becoming an atheistic one -- even though the majority of the people within any given nation (as well of the entire planet collectively) have contrary views.

Don't get me wrong -- I think that an overly-religious government would be very negative. But I don't see why society and politics should exclusively please the minority, rather than the majority, in terms of use of religion.

How would a government with minor religious influence be harmful?
