My mom thinks that without religion there is not an established moral guidline for a country to be run, a precidence or core belief that laws are written to adhere to while adressing whatever issues are occuring. This makes me think about how bloated lawbooks get after time the longer a country is in existance. Old laws are rarely dismissed, but rather kept and unenforced- there is a site or something that has a bunch of old laws to address issues not applicable anymore, such as "it is illegal to tie your horse at the post office" type stuff. To fix this, what if laws were written with exxpiration dates and would need to be revoted on after a set perid of time. Some may need to be dismissed in phases and announded ahead of time, such as ones dealing with retirement or money or taxation

    The kicker though is that there would have to be someone who's sole job is to do that because there are so many...
