Only secular countries can be democratic.
If you mix religion with politics, you get what you see in the Arab world!
Religion is a powerful tool to control masses as it distracts them away from this life's affairs. While everyone is busy complying with the rituals and getting ready for life after death, the cleaver ones exploit them and remove them of what it takes to become conscious of their actual situation in this life!
Some religions do a better job than others in keeping their followers busy with those rituals, and the one mostly practiced in the Arab world in the number one in doing so!
Thus, democracy in religious states is utopia!
