Isn't this great?

If you define "church" as an organization that teaches a specific doctrine in a very specific way, and "state" as the institution which is empowered to create and implement the laws which govern your people, it is of benefit for these elements to be separated.

If you define "spirituality" as the sum total of your cultural values and your most sacred beliefs, and "politics" as the process by which you select the people who will write and pass laws, as well as the method by which laws are adopted, then it is not of benefit for these elements to be separated.
