Funny, last time I checked the United States Government was not run by the same people who run the Churches. I thought the Pope was just visiting Washington, not assuming command.



In seriousness though, the Pope is a good example. The only developed country I can think of that is run by the Church is Vatican City. All other countries know it would be ludicrous to try and marry the Church (or any religion really) and the State, for obvious reasons.
