If I had my own country, I would allow freedom of religion, but I would try to find ways to counter the things which make people more likely to embrace fundamentalism. I would want to create a country where neither man nor woman has much of a use for gods or oppressive, tribal religions, because they can trust their fellow man or woman to help them in their time of need and have faith in them. I would like to undermine class-disparities which I believe have a significant influence on the religiosity of people, and promote a culture free of the sort of vacuity seen in hyper-consumerist cultures which make Christianity and Islam seem palatable by comparison. Education and learning for learning's sake would be promoted, and we would seek to create a country where people do not feel alienated from their work or their fellow citizen.
