Yeah, my original statement should probably be rowed back from, but its not as far from the truth as some seem to think.
When the government believes in a religion and uses that religion the fault can be sliced up between the two factors, but without one the other would not have a significant impact. I guess you can argue we need to get rid of governments, but that quickly hijacks the thread
