Religion: Murder, aids, abortion

Good point you\'re making! But you make it sound as if being secular is a strong indication for being tyrannical, and if you look at most modern-day secular democracies, you\'ll find that that is just not true. Yes there are/were undemocratic countries that are secular because of the reasons you named. And I meant most as in \"most of the democratic countries\", not as in \"the countries that are the most democratic\", as you seem to have interpreted that, if I\'m not mistaken.

And I think the best way to prevent tyranny, is in the end tyranny itself. Checks and balances are merely tools to sugarcoat it.
