Most religions and most governments take the same view about stealing; do you think there could be some better-drawn line, where we look at the commonalities and say "well, yeah, a society can't run with this happening all the time - it doesn't take a religious text to come up with that", and the differences and say "while a religion may not feel they can allow this to happen within their community and still stay together, a nation can certainly allow this to go on, and celebrate its robustness"?
