Thats a mouthful Elbert! The point I was making was that by definition that is the 'ideal' state our society should be in and there's always those who wish to undermine it for their own reasons. Thanks for the comment though. Wow! Thats a mouthful Elbert!

Nor can Australia be considered secular when every religion receives substantial tax incentives and cash grants from the government. The best description I can think of is: Quasi-democratic, semi-secular, religion-supporting state... QDSSRSS.

But a nice try. Like you I get a bit cheesed off when people like the radio host don't pull people up when the trot out the god line. The religious shouldn't be allowed to just get away with saying whatever they want, without being called on it. only problem with DEWS is when you say it out loud it sounds a bit like Jews, oops.
