I've read the article on Religion in Uruguay, and checked other websites such as Reddit, Quora, and Stack Exchange, but while they all mention that Uruguay has a large irreligious population, they do not detail why. What are the historical and cultural reasons for Uruguay's situation? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 00:55, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
To quote our article on the subject: "Uruguay's secularization began with the relatively minor role of the church in the colonial era, compared with other parts of the Spanish Empire. The small numbers of Uruguay's indigenous peoples and their fierce resistance to proselytism reduced the influence of the ecclesiastical authorities."
A country where Christianity never had much of an influence, ends up as the most secular state in the Americas. Dimadick ( talk) 18:56, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
If Fred grants Alice an estate that expires when Bob dies, it's a life estate for the life of another. If Alice grants Bob an estate that expires when Bob dies, it's an ordinary life estate. But what if Fred grants Alice and Bob an estate that expires when both grantees are dead? In other words, when Alice dies, Bob has a life estate, or when Bob dies, Alice has a life estate, but Fred doesn't get the property back until both Alice and Bob are dead. What do you call that? A life estate with concurrency? Nyttend ( talk) 19:54, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
