I suspect that extensive studies will be conducted at the undergraduate level.Ontario EmperorFri, 13 May 2005 11:38:52 -0000http://postkiwi.disqus.com/democrats_survey_on_religion_and_state_in_australia/#comment-13964474Regarding tax breaks, I wonder if the United States should entertain the removal of tax exempt status for churches. I speak as a Christian, worried about (a) organizations that claim to be "churches" just to receive the tax break, and (b) the implied "tit for tat" in which churches are "paid off" by tax exemption, in exchange for agreeing to be silent on issues of the day.<br><br>Regarding using one's religious beliefs to inform one's political views, anyone with any semblance of a religious belief IS going to base their political views on their religious beliefs. Our devotion to God or Allah or whoever should be affecting our entire life, including our political life; anyone who can remove their religious views from their political debates has weak religious views.Ontario EmperorTue, 01 Aug 2006 23:48:05 -0000http://sayanything.disqus.com/what_compromise/#comment-18893773Business will do whatever they must to maximize profits.
