If I lived in a country where the majority religion was not the one I practiced, I would not expect them, nor demand of them, to rearrange their culture and society for me.

My Jewish friends, whose families have been here about as long as mine have, would prefer not to think they live in "their" culture and society--they love this country and think they live in "our" culture and society. I think it would be incredibly rude to force Christian practices on them. Fortunately, the courts agree with me (well, maybe not because it's "rude," but for other reasons).

Non-Christian /= atheist, you know.

One solution is to have the most minimal government possible. Having a minimal government reduces the opportunity for church and state conflicts.

Beginning the process of privatizing universal education is one very major way to get government church and state conflicts out of out lives.
