Good point. Western history is filled with oppression such as the oppression by the feudal lords and then monarchs. the Separation of church and state was a defense against the domination of the church in all areas of life the same thing can be said of the emphasis on individual right. Fear and mistrust seems to motivate social issues in the west.
