Subject: RE: ID ruling
I just returned from visiting my daughter in London. When I told her about the Dover ruling she made an interesting comment. In the UK where there is a state religion and during religious holidays like Christmas everything is shut down, there is less intrusion of religion into civil matters.
It has often been suggested that the (once-upon-a-time) separation of
church and state in the US had the paradoxical effect of forcing
religion to work much harder to "market" itself to the population than
in countries where there is official state provision for religion (which
has the effect of making it moribund).
