Bizarrely the US with separation of church and state has its politics entirely dictated by religion. Whereas UK which is a theocracy actually has minimal real control over its legislatures by religion, despite bishops sitting in the HoL.

We need more useful RCTs. Eg comparing ibuprofen and naproxen for gout… so many patients come to me having nearly fixed themselves with simple ibuprofen.
