No country even comes to the USA. Our failure will be if we stray too far from our Christian roots (which is happening now).

A system of government based on rational thought has the advantage that policy will be based on the facts, and the society is capable of learning from its past successes and failures.

Because god and politics don't mix very well. All a leader has to do is say "god if for me and against you" Then the leader is god and all of a sudden nobody has any freedom.
If people want religion in their government they should move to the Islamic state of Iran.

because religion gets in the way of creativity and freedom to think outside the box. religion has always been the strongest drag on progress. The more religion, the slower is economic, social, cultural advancement......not to mention more war.

What's so "successful" about them? If they are so great, tell the Mexicans to go there instead of our shores. Hell We own their biggest firms Volvo & Saab. The Sardines market makes them successful?

Because most rational people respond better to facts rather than dogma.

because religious governments have a tendency to be too narrow minded and eventually fall to a corrupt leader (like the feudal governments did) .. resulting is collapse.
