A large number of debates, articles and researches dealt with the question of what religion did to the state, but it is difficult to find debates, articles or research on the question of what the state did to religion.

Historically, there has been intense hostility between "fundamentalists" and "religious Zionism." Fundamentalists stuck firmly to their position which considers Zionism and nationalism as a polarizing and sinister evil. Religious Zionism, which is a near-paradoxical concept such as "Judaism and Democracy", is close to the culture of the West and carefully preserves the commands, but runs behind secular Zionism.

  1. that the State was carried out, and the "religious" corrupt started. The first to be corrupted was the Haredi. Ben Gurion began this task when he favored to include them in his first coalition. During many years of fascination with money and power, they underwent a transformation. The boasting society with the bible and its principles became a gathering to the homeless and unemployed. They responded to all the government's whims as long as it provided them with what they wanted. They even agreed on to cooperate with the previous enemies to become national Zionists.

The task of corrupting "religious Zionism" began immediately after the Six-Day War. Now they will become pioneers, and will become Palmachs, but quickly they became savages and breathe their instincts on weak people.

In Short, what the State has done with religion. Hardies in Israel turned them into Jenkins, who is addicted to the public money. The "religious Zionism" turned them into a fascist, irrational gang.

But unlike the Haredis, who are only a threat to the State's budget. The "religious Zionism" is a truly existential threat. The historical base says give the monotheistic religion power, an army and a geographic area, and eventually you will get a monster who will destroy itself
