By definition it isn't, but by the idea in itself, it already is... It's a community of people creating laws, not a religion, but by state... There wouldn't be any difference except the fact that the blame would just be put on god rather than the government.

Perhaps ONE of the stewards of justice. Justice cannot exist without a grounding in morality. Morality does not arise from reason, i.e. you can't get an ought from an is. Organized religion (like other interest groups) should influence legislation when appropriate, e.g. death penalty. The ADMINISTRATION of justice is a completely different matter - I think this is probably what you are talking about. In states that have a single religion, justice may be considered more properly administered by organized religion - I dissent from such a view, and believe justice is more properly administered by secular jurists. However, in a single-religion society, the outcome may likely be the same whether a case is judged by a secular or religious person. By the way, what is "true Christianity" is completely subjective, and "true democracy" is non-existent.

No. that is not what founding fathers had in mind. While religion plays an important part in establishing values and the rights of man, the founding fathers believed that there should be separation between church and state. Why? Because organized religion sometimes go a little out of control. After all it was organized religion that brought us the witch hunts among other things.

I admire Dr. Kings work, but ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Organized religion has not shown itself worthy of such a responsibility. Whose roganized religion would you choose? Yours? Mine? Hindu, Bhudist, Islam? Government works best when it is fully seperated from religion.

Absolutely not! The Constitutional separation of church and state was done for good reasons, which are every bit as valid today as they were 200 years ago.

i say no because religion is a personal thing to each individual and evwn in organized religion there are individual beliefs within it and to put one person's opinion over the whole judicial system is asking for trouble.

people would just find a way to pervert the laws (religious or political) to be self-serving and politically correct
