Notably, the blessings of the fusion of the Church and the State in terms of the success of the European continents were not lost on its separation as some may had thought.

The reason is that the fusion of the Church and the State meant that the principle of God dictated in the Holy Bible integrated into the culture of the Europeans so that even though there was a political segregation as widely seen, that did not affect the way of lives of the people.

Recent acts in living memories testifies to so many areas of societal activities like laws, political and judicial institutions and systems, calendar years numbering, etc which are rooted in Christianity.

But as pride settled in following the foundational development of Europe which yielded to its industrial and corollary economic exploits coupled with some malpractice within the Roman Catholic Churches, some sect of people begun to question the basics of this Christian theism in relation to the nation development.

These sects gathered more numbers over the years as the rate of the industrial development continued to yield positive effects on their economies specifically the development or innovation of new technologies and science which were crucial in the facilitations of human activities like cars, computers, planes, new agricultural materials etc as well as improving the standard of living because of quality human service.

In short, the economic development in the latter part of the 18th and 19th century shifted the pattern of thinking or the attention of man from God who was initially thought to be the primary engineer behind nation development to man whose handiwork in the development of the nation was seen, touched, smell, tasted and felt.

That is wherein the doctrine of atheism developed its feathers which is now a mainstay in modern jurisprudence.

The dominance of the atheism resulted in not only spelling a doom on the church’s influence on the state institution but also ensuring that the church principle from the Bible were regulated as far as possible to a tight corner of personal belief and religion save as to those principles which were widely accepted as good to the society without the contest of assessing that in the light of the Bible; moral ethics.

The regulations of the church and its doctrine to the corner of religion as matter of personal opinion gave space to secularism with little moral ethics and above on the superiority of human’s reasoning, inter-alia, through institution, science and technology.

In the course of time, atheism has made it appeared that the success of a nation lies at the heart of human prowess and not a Supernatural interference as they blasphemingly referred to God.

So, the influence of atheism has made nations to spend trillions of monies in improving upon its human resource for better utilization of its surrounding natural resources.

In society and on the individual level, secular works which on the usual calendar take place from Monday to Friday, have been given more priority to the neglect of Church or religious activities (as the nihilist may claim) whose relevance is seen only on the day of worship; Sunday or religious festivals like Christmas and Easter.

In Europe and other former Europeans inherited colonies like the United State of America, Canada, Australia, most of its citizens are now atheist or non-practicing Christians who rarely go to the Church or even read the Bible as result of the modern philosophy of hard work pays giving rise to workaholism and quest of wealth and pride.

The African history is not way difference in terms of how speculative questions have been viewed. Africans before colonialism had always been theists save that their form of theisms were rooted in traditional belief (deism). Each tribe or clans had their own gods in which they believed in, to some extent the family.

With the coming of the Europeans around the 16th century, significant part of the continent had moved from traditional belief to Christianity by the end of 21st century as a result of the missionary works which were a key part of the colonial system.

Even before the emergence of the Europeans on the continent, most of the northern part of Africa especially the sharan and sub-Sharan region had embraced Islamism as result of years of trade with the Arabs.

What is notable concerning the importation of Christianity to African as distinguished from how Christianity was imported to Europe, was that in the Africa context, the coincidence of the separation of the Church and the State with the period of colonisation in the early 19th Century, meant that the colonial masters especially the French people were not much interested in assimilating their Christianity faith into their colonies (mostly the sub-sharan region of Africa) hence leaving the colonies at the peril of the influence of Islamic missionaries whose area of dominance were in the middle east and north of Africa.

For the English colonies, even though the colonial masters were not interested in carrying their Christian faith to their colonies, because of the dominance of Protestant churches in England, those churches took it upon themselves to carry out its missionary works in the colonies but that did not have much significant impact like the influence of Christianity in those days in Europe, in that the colonies still held on to their traditions or culture rooted in deism and their newly embraced Christian faith.

Over time the Christian faith was fused with those traditional gods belief which are unknowingly practiced by many today as Christianity. I have little historical knowledge on the Portuguese and the Spanish colonies in African to enable me to talk on.

But I believe considering the Portugal and Spain as Catholic state, their colonies experienced the same eventuality with of the French situation save that the location of their colonies in the southern part of Africa did not explore those colonies to the Islamic missionaries unlike the French colonies in the north.

This meant that even though the Portuguese colonies were exploited by the ardent Catholic missionaries, that was not enough to eradicate the people culture and traditions like the case of the English colonies.

The insufficient dominance of the Christian faith in the Africa colonies coupled with the surge in rise of the doctrine of atheism resulted in the Churches in the African colonies being seen just like in the traditional belief as a sort of shrine wherein lies blessings and had some inner corporation of in-house fear.

In reality, the biblical principles did not regulate most of the souls in Africa Christian dominated countries. They had their church lives which are exhibited in the church and their non-church lives exhibited outside the Church.

The general perception about the church got many false prophets and pastors, which are ever on a surge today, to capitalise on the people’s mind to preach on words or so-called prophecy which import blessings and curses at the neglect of the basic principles of Christ so as to gain wealth with their deceit that is getting more attendance at their churches for their offerings.

The effect is that the Church have had an impotence influence on the African states despite its dominance in physicality since the emphasis of the Christian faith in the African context centers on individual prosperity rather on the human savior and the principles of Christ on this present world. This has given room to the continue rise of individualist behaviours in Africa, one of the major sources justifying our state of poverty which many Africans agreed on but do not know its root.
