Neither presumption holds true (obviously). That relegates your comment to an inflammatory remark designed to provoke an argument.1. The "Godless" part was not meant to be taken seriously.
2. The people are the government only in a pure democracy, which New Zealand is not.
3. My intent was most assuredly not to provoke an argument. I have neither the energy nor the time.
