For the christians- not big, but there is a large muslim community, you should be carefull with them.\nChristians have their orthodx church, but after 50 years of communism its role is insignifficant thou people recently come back to it again,little by little.

It can be very difficult to practice a religion different than a country's state religion or predominant religion. For example, as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, we could not teach Muslims because of the repercussions they could have if they joined another religion and decided to return to their home country. I knew a man from Bangladesh that wanted to find out more about our religion. We wanted to teach him but could not because he was Muslim.

More than ever.  The debackle in Iraq is a perfect example why religion has no place in politics.  The Iraqi people  will not succeed in having an effective government until they employ this theory. Religion kills more people in the name of war than any other single factor, this is especially true in most Islamic countrys because anyone who wishes to interpret the Koran can do so, and many will do it to achieve their own objectives.  Look at Turkey, this is an Islamic country that has acheived much success because thet do seperate church and state.

Google the question.\n\nI found these two sites that may be of help:\n\nhttp://web.archive.org/web/20050330085408/http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/naind/html/na_032600_religion.htm\n\nhttp://www.native-languages.org/religion.htm\n\nThere are other links but from skimming these pages, one can deduce that the Miamis and other nations did not and do not subscribe to an organized religion unless they've converted to European religion or some other organized religion.\n\nHope this helps.

Are you asking about Serbia and Montenegro, or the recent history of the breakup of Yugoslavia?  Maybe you want to know a short history of the region?  you should try to narrow it down.  Are you asking about the funeral of Slobodan Milosevic?

The United States is overwhelmingly Christian with Protestant denominations making up the majority at 52%, followed by Roman Catholics (24%), Mormon (1%), Jewish (1%), Muslim (1%), other (10%), and none (variously estimated at from 10% to 15%).[47] The country is also noteworthy for its relatively high level of religiosity among developed nations. About 38% of Americans say they attend religious services at least once a week,[58] and 53% of Americans consider religion to be very important in their lives, as compared to 16% in Britain, 14% in France, and 13% in Germany.[59]

I personally believe that faith and religion serves an important role in society.  I feel that it gives people something to believe in when there is nothing else, it helps people to keep going when they are have no other reason.  It gives people confort and helps pulls them through the  most difficult of times.\n\nIt has also helped to establish societal norms for what behavior is considered acceptable and what isn't, to determination what is considered good versus evil.

I think that the more church is separated from the state, the better. There are maters of religion, and matters of the phisical world. \nPhisical world should be sorted out by pure reason. \nReligion can not be (please anote that I don't mean that religion is something wrong or stupid - merely, that many things in religious matters are a matter of faith).\n\nOf course, religion always does influence the local culture, and that can't be avoided. \n\nIn the case of Iraq, I think it would be a good idea to separate the worldly and religious matters. As Julius Caesar once said, "What belongs to God, give to God. What belongs to Emperor, give to Emperor". \nHowever, taking into consideration the way Islam covers both mundane and religious issues (I'm not a Muslim, nor an expert on the topic, but got interest in the subject to claim that I have an idea of what I'm talking about :)), it would be very, very hard to divide those two matters. Not something that can be done quickly.\n\nNevertheless, I think it would be a good goal to go for.

Given that so many wars have started, and continue because of religious beliefs, I would say religion is extremely important in society.  Anything that can evoke the kind of passion necessary to maintain the level of intensity needed to sustain a war is important.

Kosovo and Metohija (Mae-toe-khy-a) is southern Serbian province. It originates such status from 1974 Yugoslav Constitution, when Yugoslav president Tito (president from 1945 to 1980; born 1892, died 1980) - old and not having total power any more, had to make new deals with nationalists from Croatia (Croatia was the only country that was with Germany in II WW but after war was awarded more territories than it had before the war) who wanted their independant state. So, as an answer, some of them were send to prison for a while, but Serbia was divided into two provinces and one unidentified central region left in the middle: like P-C-P model (Province-Central_Area-Province). Why was that? \n\n  Because Croats stated that Serbia has much power in Yugoslavia. Serbia was kingdom before joining in Yugoslav state (state of Yugo (South) Slave(n)s), and outnumbered all the other nations that joined into one country. So, Tito decided to divide Serbia into three parts, and two of them became "little republics into a republic", and third (central part) had no attribute - strange indeed. So, Serbia had three governments then: Kosovo and Metohia, Vojvodina, and (joined) Serbian government. Central part didn't have it's own parliament.\n\n  When war started in Yugoslavia, Kosovo Albanians tried to separate from Serbia. They didn't succeed for years, but finally, with American help (and with help of people who have great influence in some European countries where USA has it's own great influence), they will soon have independance.\n\n  Well, independance in way called secession (like California decides to leave USA), and with 40.000 USA troops.\n\n  I guess any part of world where USA and NATO (USA again) have their interests can gain independance from the country they belong to, just as long as USA can install government and bring it's army, oil companies, rockets, etc.\n\n  Simple as that...\n\n  Read my answer to question: "Secret marriage?" - you'll find it if you click on my profile, and then find it in my answer list.\n\n  Read also: "If there was no USA and UN influence on the Balkans, would Serbia rule the western Balkans? if not, who would?"\n\n  Regards,\nm.

Why not?  India would be a perfect member in the UNSC.  India have proven that religion will not play a major role in its political decisions.  Maybe the world can learn from India.

Religion, as usual.  Religion has caused more wars than any other factor.

Religion and government are two different things. Officials should be, and are, elected based on how well they serve the state or national government. Not because of religion.
