No there were others that had separation. The ones you mentioned were religions where the leader was a god.

“No there were others that had separation. The ones you mentioned were religions where the leader was a god.”

I am fully prepared to believe you, but I can’t think of other examples.

And certainly none that effected Western Civilization like the Jewish concept of separation of government and priest.

In Western Civilization, this Jewish idea of separation combined with the Greek and Roman ideas of a democratic republic and slowly has grown to be accepted throughout the world (again, notably excepting Islamic countries).
