First things first, a 'conceptual boundary' is kind of like an invisible line that separates different ideas or areas of knowledge. It's like drawing a line in the sand between two people's sandcastles - it's not a real, physical line, but it helps to separate one thing from another.

👉 Note: It's important to stay curious and critical about these boundaries! They're not always there for good reasons, and sometimes they cause more problems than they solve.

Picture the boundary between religion and state like a game of "Twister" where players' hands and feet are constantly crossing over onto each other's spaces. This blending can lead to 'touchpoints' where the two mix, but also 'tensions' where they conflict.

🌍 Real-world example: In some countries, like Iran, the line between religion and state authority is blurred, resulting in a theocratic system. But this often leads to tensions - e.g., restrictions on freedom of speech or religion.

🖊️ Discussion: Blurring this boundary has had serious consequences. So, while questioning boundaries is generally good, here's a case where it may not be!
