Any government anywhere trying to enforce one version of ‘Truth’ over another leads to evil. Governments can’t be moral, the most one can hope for is one that doesn’t actively do evil more than not. Anyone who wants to have power, authority, control, or influence over others I do and shall consider evil and only concerned with their ownself aggrandizement, Good people don’t go into politics.

Government always is involved in enforcing a version of “Truth”. For example, it tries to persuade the population that it is true that “you must stop at stop signs to ensure public safety”. After all, “governing” implies getting people to behave differently than they would in the absence of government — else why would there be a government?

“Truth” is different from “Moral”. It may be moral to drive through a stop sign if you can clearly see that there are no pedestrians or other traffic in the vicinity.
