I had a look at some of the other answers from veritas459a. A lot of quotes from Matthew, Isaiah etc in them.

I think you are confused your statement "belief without evidence" in most religious systems, for example Christians it takes 3 kinda debunking your statement, witnesses are required in most other religions as well. Communism is not based on religion its based on the "people", ever how warped, but that was not your question, I think you are eluding to the US court systems , in it you have rules of evidance and 12 people making the decision of gult or innocents. those 12 people are making the decision not the goverment. If you are refering to somthing else guess it went by me.

There's an example or two to look at. Communist china during the "great struggle", Stalinist Russia, The Spanih Inquisition. Trials in court were merely a formality in all of these systems.

Can you imagine what our courts would be like if some people saw the evidence but no matter what, absolutely refuses to see the evidence as truth, just like atheists do?

Do you have a "Law Degree?"
Have you extensive Studies, POST GRADUATE, in Law Studies?
DO you know, "The Rules of Evidence?"
IT WOULD SEEM NOT! It would seem that YOU have a spoken OUT OF IGNORANCE, and Not Out of FACT? ? ?
All legal Systems, be it NOW or 4000-years AGO = WERE AND ARE = based On Some Moral Code!
From the Law [Code ] of Hammurabi to the Current US Supreme Court = CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION = BY THEIR WRONG INTERPRETATION...... All Law is based on A Moral Code = OR THE WILLFUL - ABSENCE THEREOF!
Thanks, RR

Isn't that kind of what the Salem Witch Trials were about?

We would be executing a lot of people, and jails would be overflowing.

I could imagine, except that your analogy is flawed.

That's why there is a separation of church and state. They're two entirely different things.
