Religion in the government

This is a very touchy issue and has valid points to both sides of the argument, personally i believe that religion does have a place in the government but not a large place. after all the  canadian charter of rights and freedoms says that "canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of god and the rule of law." law and government is somewhat based on the traditions of a country, typically traditions and customs are built well into the religions of the people and so it is necessary for laws to somewhat reflect and or accommodate these traditions. "when in rome" as i like to put it. I believe that religion has a place in government as long as other countries believe it does, if the day arises that every single country in the world with no exemptions decides to strike out religion from their government only then is it fair for canada too.
