Religious means religious.
Example: X country, 99% of them are religious people, muslim. Religion is officially part of the country's law. Not secular. Time goes by, country decided to separate religious laws from the sate. Becomes secular. But same 99% of people remained religious. So it was and still is a religious, 99% muslim country. Separating religion from state did not change it. Becoming secular did not make country's people non religious.
When people say "Italy is a Christian country" do you actually think they mean that Italy is not secular and that they have Christian laws as a laws of state?   No, they mean that majority of people are Christians. |
This whole thread is about the coup in Turkey ( in case you did not notice) and its army trying to prevent the return to religious zealotry pushed by Erdogan and thus keeping Turkey a secular state. And when you see the Pope trying to govern his papal states and bring inquisition back to the whole country I sure would hope that the Italian army would prevent it. And who cares if a country is 90 % muslim or catholic it is about its laws. That was my point but idiots like you refuse to learn and repeat the same mantra expecting a different outcome.
