An irreligious government is as flawed as the average joe. And polyreligion should be out of the question in any country.

Nations like the USA and Germany for instance, which have a mixed population of protestants and catholics as the religious majority, can only be polyreligious. This goes especially for countries with a very mixed religious structure, like Russia, Bosnia, Albania, and so on.

Religious morals are basic human morals, thus an irreligious fascist, conservative government will still perform no different than a religious one would, but unlike a religious one it would not be tied to the thoughts of religious institutions.

The people are becoming more and more irreligious as the falsehoods of it become clearer, but, the illogical basis of the leading western religions and judeo-abrahamic mythology are not topics which we should talk about here. Never the less, the irreligious people are not free of moral boundaries, and we should not let anyone lose his or her moral compas.
The people do not need the dogmatic aspects of religion, as the dogmatic parts of the abrahamic faiths, if seen literary, are simply horrible, but what the people do need are the cultural and moral aspects of it. I guess we can all agree that the religious morals should be the foundation of any nation, as, like I said, they are simple human morals for a healthy society.

Religious institutions having power over the governments has never, in the history of mankind, given any possitive effect. What it did bring were needless wars, persecutions, huge setbacks and so on. For the love of it, the catholic church has not just been against scientific facts, but also against things like public baths, and even streetlights. Giving power to such institutions seems quite scary to me.
That an irreligious government can be as bad is true, but it depends on their political orientation. A fascist irreligious government has no flaws which it's other irreligious counterparts could have, as the fascist ideology binds them to the defending of all cultural heretige and the very foundations of the nation.
