Religion, while holding some similaries, is not cookie cutter one size fits all. Nor are governmental functions and intricacies. While our values may differ, we wouldn't want others to impose their will upon us. What is needed in my opinion is to allow other countries their autonomy to function based on their values and culture. Acceptance. Recognition of differences. And guidence when requested. Religion and government are similar in their opposition to change. Others may do things differently than is but it us not our place to set their values.
