IMHO a democracy is a protestant viewpoint of an appropiate relationship between Church and state. It has been a very effective form of government for the United States and has been effective in promoting religious tolerance because it reflects the beliefs of the people. If a country is looking to change to a democratic form of government, I doubt they will be effective unless they share this cornerstone.
