Is democracy the way you live?

Yes, if you mean a country such as the U.S. or European Union, for example. In the U.S. our country (U.S.) offers equality and freedom, supported by free and verifiable elections of a country leader, representatives and in some cases state democracies of the same model.

Do realize that democracy is a political system--more than just a way of life. There are many forms of democracy across the world.

Being equal before the law and innocent until proven guilty, freedom of religion, separation of church and state are things provided in our basic constitution and laws.

Technically it could be argued that the U.S. is more of a Republic, which provides freedoms to elect representatives that are given power to govern on our behalf or in interest of our people and state (republicanism).

It could be argued that the only true democracy was that started by the Greeks where their citizens often had direct roles in government instead of representatives.
