There were a few time periods in our history where religion and the church where the highest drivers for scientific progress. In part because of the believe that our understanding of the world would bring us closer to it's creator, but more so the fact that knowledge is power - the more you knew about the world the bigger the kingdom you could rule.

Nowadays access to knowledge is trivial, so the power comes not from the knowledge itself but from controlling the flow of information. If you can find an excuse for people to not ask the right questions, then you have power over them. This is sort of the main shtick with the church and government right now. While the government has the resources, the church has the experience. That's why they are so hard to separate. They both have a hard on for each other.

What about private schools?

I agree with this sentiment. Otherwise, where is the department of gangbangs? Because, wouldn't sex be a big government thing? They already want control of when you can fuck and when you can't as well as what you should do if you fucked and now you're pregnant. Or pregnant and fucked. But actually, don't worry if you're pregnant and can't undo it, worry about the future of that baby. Its not the kid's fault, its society. If you think about it, without religion in the way fogging your mind, a sentient human is not fully there when there's only a few thousand neurons, so it is defined not there even when there's just a heart beat. Its like having a tiny seed that just sprouted and worrying about the climate change effects if you stop watering it. There's probably a point in the pregnancy when there's enough brain activity to think something. But anyway, these are philosophical questions until science can prove them, so there's no need for government to be involved.

But if there must be sex and religion in government, then totally, I would like to apply for a gangbang license please! If I like it, my wife may be interested too.

Religion belongs in private not public

Separating science from religion is how you get fundamentalism.

Children needs to be taught religion in a way they can comprehend the reasons to believe them, and make them understand what they're believing in it. Otherwise cults can take over to exploit the lack of knowledge in religion.

How about religious classes in the schools.

Now we just have to move the state away from science... maybe another wall?
