	If this country was set up as non-religious and has laws to prevent
 mixing of church and state, then even if the entire nation is of one religion
 certain laws should still not be passed. Blue laws should have never been 
 legal. I guess there was a time that people really didn't care too much about
 the separation of church and state.
