joan of arc wasn’t burnt because she was a witch, but because she was a threat to the English and the Burgunds (??) at the time. But Cauchon (who decided to burn the woman) said she was a witch: he couldn’t obviously say that he had to burn her because the English told him to. And yes, separation of Church and States was meant to keep the Church out of the politic arena… ---

> And yes, separation of Church and States was meant to keep the Church out of the politic arena… Yes, but they are using it to keep the church out of any public places…(i.e. school) (Pomme\_- Thanks for that interesting fact about Joan of Arc. I didn’t know that they wanted to burn her just because she was a threat…) ---

> [@RussianBeer](#): > > Nah its like this: They are trying to \*\*keep \*\*religion \*\*out \*\*of public schools! that’s the point i was making. except i was noting that some public schools still have religion in them. i also agree it’s a good thing to have religion and public education separate. ---

India too did that for a while, but only for major cities. They renamed Bombay to Mumbai, Madras to Chennai, Calcutta to Kolkata, and possibly others…big change I know! Most people I know still call them by their, imo, much cooler sounding British names 🙂 ---
