Nevertheless a just goverment cannot be built much less maintained unless it's operating under a certain conception of the truth. Without the truth, there can be no such thing as justice. So while the state cannot determine what truth is exactly, it can't be indifferent to it either.In the absence of concrete proof of a particular religion's correctness it will always come down to because someone says so.
Not everyone is confident that the opinion of people who said so many generations ago continue to be 100% relevant and applicable to the world as it is today.
While the claims of the past do and should be be critically examined in light of contemporary issues, that not does that entail that they should just be dismissed outright - and certainly not simply because it was said generations ago.
