[EDINVA]

“Israel is actually like many other countries in the world in that it’s a religious (Jewish) nation on one hand, but with a radically secular parliamentary government on the other.”

And what countries might that be ?

[Alberta's Child]

Much of Europe, for example. Ireland, Italy and (to a lesser extent) France are cases in point. Parts of Germany have government-run religious (Catholic) schools.

The governments of these countries are secular for the most part -- and in some cases radically so (France).
