Modern history has made a clear separation of church and state since the time or the Romans. In the name of "democracy" and various "new world orders" many laws and regulations regarding society have been instituted only to cause misery and despair for the people. The laws which were found in the religious books of these societies were discarded. The legislators, seeking dominance over the people of their own society and of other countries, instituted their own laws to reach their specific goals. All this was done under the slogan of "what's good for the country is good for the people."
