Most modern nation-states are completley secular. I consider the fact that Costa Rica has the Roman Catholic Church embedded in the constitution as the “religion of the state” as serious flaw. Religion has no place in the public space, as far as I am concerned.

In the U.S. quite a few people don’t look to the Catholic Church for any help. There have been so many Pedophile Priests protected,and hidden by the Catholic Church, to avoid prosecution ,
they don’t think it will help them But many of the abused young boys parents followed the transfered Pedophile Priests ,and Sued the Catholic Church for them ruining the lives of so many boys. One Dad of one of the ruined boys said” Just let me in the jail cell with that S.O.B for 15 minutes and I will drop the charges.” It goes without saying, the law wouldn’t let him do that. The Catholic Church paid out maby,many MILLIONS of dollars to keep that scandel out of the newspapers. That didn’t work either..SOOO SAD!

The Goverment gives the Church over 900,000 dollars a year, for what? The money would be better used for schools. The Church should pay tax, some where around 33%. The Clergy should be taxed.
