Thanks, Fred--it was straight from my heart. In my opinion, government is actually anti-faith so I can't imagine a time when they would make such a recommendation.
The government's duty is to stay out God's jurisdiction and respect the fact that man's conscience belongs to the Lord. Christ never once asked the government to assist him promulgate his teachings nor did he advise us to do it. Any religion that needs government support is not worthy of much respect. Christianity thrived for three hundred years in the face of cruel persecutions. The worst thing that ever happened to it was when Constantine elevated to the level of the pagan religions.
