Just a general comment... My thinking is that the union was started by Christians (majority Protestants & minority Catholics) that believed certain rights granted by their Creator. These rights are granted to both believers and non-believers. These rights sprung from a Christian society and will only be maintained by one. Replace the culture and you are going to get a different set of beliefs and therefore laws. Importing, for example Islam, will change this believe, since they do not grant the same rights to a non-believer (Kafir). You can see this in Europe clearly, since Christians believe in Freedom of Speech even those that you despise vs Islam that does not grant the freedom for those that do not submit. In South Africa the westeners gave up ruling power to the Bantu tribes with constitutional guarantees to safeguard a non-racial society. They were optimistically assuming that the new ruling class would be bound by the same political abstractions. Yet, today there are more racial laws against westeners than there were during apartheid. The separation between Church and state was enacted so that a state could not choose a official religion. It, however, was never meant to insulate the state from the Christian religion. The state should have Christian fingerprints all over it as it does in the declaration of independence. Immigrants should at least be vetted to see if they accept the tenets the country was founded on.
