Why the sarcasm? Are people being defenestrated in Prague and I didn't notice?

Religious conflict has been on a huge downswing for like 300 years.

If I had to make a guess the users comment aims at the American system where a privatisation of religion in combination with unrestricted free religious speech has mostly let to radicalisation.

The alternative would be models like the UK, Germany or Denmark, where although churches have state representation, the reverse is also true and the state has effectively securalised and reigned religious institutions in.
