There is a certain kind of insight in the founding fathers of the USA that wanted religion to be a personal matter, but not political. Not that you can have private organizations like Litvak yeshivot based on the principle of learning and keeping down to every last detail. But there is a point where things evolve from small organization to become political. In ancient Athens, it was understood that that amount is about 20,000. That is the point where the rules change. Just like the connection between physics and chemistry and biology. It is not that biology violates the rules of physics or chemistry, but that the rules are different.
