In a similar vein, aren't things like 'separation of church and state' a post medieval idea? Seeing so many people supporting more modern ideas like this is one of the exotic things that annoys me. But I could be wrong.
Yes, it is.
In Irombrozia, we had very little church-state separation. Then again, we were also very little.
In Terran, we have pretty strong church-state separation, but that's basically a reaction against Astroism. We probably would declare Triunism our state religion if we didn't worry it might force us into uncomfortable political decisions. So we have pretty strong religious freedom, but religion still plays a big role. My character views himself as performing a religious function as Senator of Chesney.
