 Pro-

This is true for me. Every country should be allowed to make their own decisions as long as they are not bothering us.

the most secular,

That’s true, too.Secular means you don’t base things on religion. I don’t think politics should be based on religion. They are two separate things. The Muslim countries are not secular — they base their laws on their religion. I don’t see that working.

homosexuality,

*****I don’t agree on this one. I think it’s like the thing about foreign policy — people can do whatever
