Never mind with my education level, do you think that state sponsored religion is a good thing?

Yes.
What you are doing is asking for your bigoted anti-religious beliefs to be thw law around the world.

True freedom and tolerance allows peoples and countries to choose a system of government that works for them.

Actually, no I don't. But it doesn't matter a damn bit what I think is best. It is the Israelis who have chosen that their state will be an ostensibly Jewish one. My gripe with your point is that your opinion doesn't matter a damn bit either.

Now tell me what some of the differences are between Israel as Jewish state and Saudi Arabia as a Muslim monarchy.

Here, I'll help you. Israel permits the free exercise of all faiths. A sizable portion of the Israeli electorate is made up of Arab Christians and Muslims. Bibles, churches, temples, anything to do with any faith but Sunni Islam are banned in Saudi Arabia. The choice for Americans is not to change how those people govern themselves as much as it is to choose between a freely chosen and tolerant "theocracy" and one that is murderously closed.

Regarding your education, my remark was intended to parody your dictatorial tone. I have no idea what soaring heights you have attained in your academic career, but people who fantasize about having the power to dictate instant "solutions" to what are highly emotional and intractable problems are childish. So, what grade did you complete that got you to this "philosofical" (sic) point ?
