Throwing me a bone would be consider valid if your argument was based in the realm of reality. So basically if you have a Secular government you have a better chance to lead to economic progress. Yet that sadly doesn’t apply to Africa, Burma and some Latin American countries. I wonder why?

It’s interesting to see you quote Nelson Mandela, yet your views are nothing like his. I have been visiting this forum on a infrequent basis for a few years now, but never posted. This my first post.

I think Med911 has made some interesting observations and the data seem to support his point.

Even, if you can come up with few countries, that has bucked the trend, but in general his argument seems to hold lot of water. Instead of trying hard to disprove him, try and argue, why Pakistan can’t me a secular Republic or how it can become one without sliding the country further into a turmoil.

But, if you insist on going down this path of disproving Med911, then I suggest you take into consideration the fact, all progress are relative. All counties with stable governments have progressed and all democracies with stable government are “secular” to a large extent. Only countries that has progress without being democratic and secular are the ones with undue advantage of natural wealth, there again human development is suffering.

Please point out some secular democracies with stable governments in Africa and Latin America, that has not progressed, where GDP has not grown, where Human development is not improved over the years.
