@amy0223 @Bruce_Toews @lynnskyi I don't know if there are any countries that have an official state religion which also meet all of Bruce's criteria, but I do know that if you're going to have a society with people living under a plurality of belief systems or none at all, you can't have a state religion that is actually enforced. It always ends up going badly for anyone who is not part of the majority religion, and this includes doing things like making precepts of the majority religion part of the law of the land so to speak.
