See it this way: In the past, religion and state were one and the same. Proposing their separation would be akin to an act of heresy... And everyone in power would object to it, especially the monarchs who were blessed by said religion.

Embrace it and learn how to profit from it, or put your head inside a hole in the ground pretending it doesn't exist while the rest of your neighbors enjoy the benefits. Your call...
