Having grown up in a country with an official religion (the UK, where the state religion is the Anglican Church), I’ve never understood what the big deal is about it.

If anything, having official recognition for religion is a help to the Muslim church. Combining the values of a state religion with that of not discriminating against religions, you end up with the situation whereby the government funds schools of religious minorities, including state-funded Muslim, Jewish and Hindu schools.

Except the attitude is far different. There has been talk in the UK about removing Christianity as the state religion. Meanwhile in Pakistan…lol.

You’re right, it can work if the attitude of the people is tolerant but that’s often not the case. It’s usually only the most fundamentalist followers who wish to establish state religions. Most people are ambivalent about the status quo.
