The point is, in Lebanon and Syria we are almost same families and same mentalities. The difference is in Syria there is dictatorship and no political life. For this reason religion disappear from the scene but it is there cause the ruling party represent the minority.
In Lebanon we have democracy and hence political parties. Some of those parties have political ideology and some have religious ideology. Before 1975 (when the civil war started), political ideology parties were powerful and were trying to impose civil life. The consequences of the civil war and the Syrian occupation to Lebanon is that it weakened political parties and installed religious parties in power.
It is still a difficult target to achieve and everytime we move forward one step, we are pulled back 10 steps
