> the US believes religion doesn't belong in government, a lot of the rest of the world does.
Wait, did I step in a different timeline, one where there is not a major cultural battlefield in the US that’s centered around religion?
You might want to see your country from outside of its borders to have a more objective perspective on the matter. The US is on its way to becoming a Christian fundamentalist country in ways we haven’t seen since the middle ages in Europe, for example.
I guess it’s to be expected as all the religious weirdos fled Europe for the Americas, and they hold still a lot of power. I mean, you have “In God we trust” in your banknotes. Not very secular of you.
