Yet, in America, our stable representative democracy becomes more and more unstable only as the religiosity of a nation founded upon Judeo Christian values grows dimmer and dimmer. Where Judeo-Christianity thrives, so does representative democracy. Where it doesn't, degeneration occurs.

Yet, in America, our stable representative democracy becomes more and more unstable only as the religiosity of a nation founded upon Judeo Christian values grows dimmer and dimmer. Our stable representative democracy fought a vicious civil war back when we were more than 90% Christian. It fought off several minor rebellions between 1789 and 1861. The most outwardly Christian region of the country dienfranchised almost all its black citizens from about 1880 through the mid 1960's. In brief, there is no objective evidence that American representative democracy has been stabilized by religion.
