Point me to any country on the map that’s a theocracy and I’ll show you how they brutalize their population.

FTFY. Don’t tell me it’s “some bad apples”, clearly all government’s are bad.

religion shouldn’t be allowed to interfere in other people’s lives, should not have any say in how a goverment runs and how laws get passed and should be forced to pay taxes like any other business

I agree 100%. I don’t know what you think you’re arguing against because I never said otherwise.
