Default Re: Guess What? He's a Terrible President

In terms of religion I think they're talking about the seperation between religion and government. In that aspect most people would consider the much of the middle east to be at the bottom of the charts.

In the US, as far as I understand the 1st ammendment, it means the Government is prohibited from establishing or regulating religion.

More liberal people would extend that to mean that people should keep their religious views out of politics.
