ANSWER: Answers may vary: This question invites the student to imagine a society where there is no separation between church and state, where laws would be based solely on their religious content (no reproductive choice, mandatory intelligent design courses in school, mandatory prayer, flag burning would be illegal) and the media outlets would be forced to report contrived, pre-packaged "news" stories because no freedom of speech would be allowed.
