    I believe in the idea of Separation of Church and State. I think people have a right to practice any Religion they want or not to practice one at all and that the Goverment should not promote one religion over another.

    Better than the reformation and the 30 years war at least... Although that doesn't say much.

    Except for the 4th crusade and other attacks on Orthodoxy by the Roman church.

    The 4th crusade was absolutely nothing compared to the horrors of the 30 years war. About a third(25-40% of the population of Germany was killed during this period.(Meaning that the pre-war population was 25-40% larger and that's in a time where there's a lot of population growth)

    That was a fun war to watch, we orthodoxy should have invaded Europe at the time and spread Orthodox with the end of a sword.

    And that why we don't have a reunion with the Catholics.

    Edit:we should say Romans, as both churches believe them self's to be the Catholic church.
