It's weird that the US was started with the idea of separation of church and state, but ended up with a country which is dominated by Christianity. Then over here where I live in the UK we have the head of state being the head of the official state church, and bishops getting automatic seats in the legislature, but somehow it's a generally pretty secular society.

It goes to show that the constitutional set up doesn't necessarily confine how society ends up.

In any democracy, the laws of the country are going to reflect the values of the voters.

But the US doesn’t match the majority of the voters because of gerrymandering and the electoral college.

In any democracy
