Answer 3

A political vandetta eh!! Secular...um, lets see now, I would say that since America is a freedom of choice in anything we endeavor with religion, it may be easier to say that each can carry their won, but not to coincide with Christianity...it's like if we convert Chrisitanity in the United States to Muslim...your gonna have a U.S. panic. The truth is that if we question how many peoiple in the U.S. are Muslim,....we are asking a very difficult question that is highly political at this point and very dangerous to adhere and as for Democracy, I think Bush wants to spread it world wide.

Answer 4

Yes, it is true that only Secular states can be truly democratic.

India is the model secular state,the largest democratic country in the world is India.

There are number of religions, number of languages spoken, diversified culture, etc., and inspite of this diversification, there is unity, in India. All its citizens, irrespective of their religion, loves it.

The reason is there is no state religion.

India has no religion of its own. State treat all religions and all the citizens of different religions equally. There is equality.

I am proud to be and Indian.

There are some Hindu Fundamentalists such as R.S.S., Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrangdal, Shiv - Sena, etc.,

But the masses of Indians loves each other, inspite of practicing different religions and inspite of having different faiths, live together and tolerate each other. In fact all the Indians have passions and respect for each other, which can not be seen anywhere in the whole world.

India is heaven for peace lovers.

For the cruel people like Britishers who ruled and looted our country for hundreds of hears, it is hell.

We Indians kicked them out.

Answer 7

Yes, because when you have a specific sectarian state only people within that given sectarian denomination, of sect, can participate in the government process; all others will have to hide within that sect, or be left out of the process, and therefor have no say in the process, and will be victimized by the ruling sect.

Answer 8

If you watch only one conspiracy documentary ever, make it this one. This just might be the best introductory video out there. Understand that every claim made in this is fact, not opinion, no matter how wild it sounds. It's all easily verifiable through mainstream news archives and public documents.
