How would our country be different?

Answer 2

You really, really would have separation of Crutch and State.
You wouldn't have evil televangelists talking up the war against all the evil heathens.
You wouldn't have a president listening to his god's latest orders through the hairdryer each morning.
You'd be exporting Peace instead of War.
You would be much more loved and respected as race of people by the rest of us cos right now we point and laugh at y'all.
