national economic policy? there is much more to the US philosophy of state then a economic system..that is like saying communism and fascism were just economic systems. Can you honestly tell me people were not targetted by the state in the US for being communists during the cold war?
Although i concede ideology can’t compare to the sweeping nature of a religion

Yes, communists were targeted (wrongly) by the US during the cold war, but they were seen as a threat to national security. And they were not put to death. Does a non-Muslim citizen of a majority-Muslim country pose a threat?

I disagree, betraying ones King was a punishable offence or blaspheming was a punishable offence..treason against a state or republic as a concept did not exist till the French and American revolutions.

Since state or republics did not exist until then, you are right. But treason in a broad sense relates to betraying the governing authority of any entity.

I agree mandating a religion does not mean the religion is promoted but one can mandate a religion..the Church of England is recognised as the State religion of England for example.

No matter the name of the Church of England, they do not require citizens to follow it. It is not mandated by any stretch.
