Happy Seperation of Church and State Day

The idea of separation doesn’t surprise me. I'd learned that in my history class about, Greek/Roman's time. A philosopher mentioned about a system should not rule with religious beliefs.



I'm not clear about this. And, i dont know how to explain this. does anyone knows ?

Wasn't it Socrates? He was killed for corrupting the minds of the youth and not believing in the same Gods as the Athenians did. I'm not sure. I just started to learn this in Global..
Maybe it was Plato or one of Socrates' students/followers.

The Greek were base on democracy as well. The concept of balancing the power was very similar to US during that time.

Not exactly.. Right now, we vote for who represents us. Back then, the Athenians just voted for themselves.
And they had a council of all-male voters instead of the executive, judicial, and legislative branches we have today.
The Athenians set up the basic building blocks of democracy. They don't have a government as complex as ours.
