Why is america still so religious?

I see. I understand that the circumstances are different but what in your opinion do you think is going to be the "thing" that disbands religion culturally in America?

I'll tell you what will do this; one or both of these things:

1. America does so well that they think they don't need it, or
2. America loses.


To answer your question in the title, America is so religious to this day because America won.

No matter what people say about Thomas Jefferson and papers, America was settled by religious people
and by and large America generally has prevailed against those that have come against her.

You gave me weak examples without any context.... and the holocaust was not fought over religion.... What religion did the Nazis follow..... Hitler targeted Jew because he was a maniac that felt that Jews caused the collapsed of the economy and helped sparked the Russian Revolution... not simply because they were Jewish.....

The Holocaust was not "fought". WW2 was "fought", the Holocaust was "perpetrated".

Breh if you don't know anything about European history it's ok, but stop acting like you do. I gave you various examples but since you never heard of them you call them "weak" and "without context" while they shaped over the years the distrust Europeans have for religions. The religious wars (Catholics vs Protestants), the link I sent you, accounted for, according to estimates, 6 to 15 millions deaths. Why do you think Huguenots and them were fleeing France to America? Inquisition caused thousands of deaths. Islamic invasion of Iberia, and Reconquista. Etc.

Nazis killed Jews because they were Jews, and because antisemitism is as old as Europe. The "reason" they gave is just the usual bullshyt propaganda fascists invent when they want to kill one particular group : "They're taking our jobs/women", "They'e infiltrating us", "They're taking over". Same story over and over, everywhere. They targeted Jews because they were Jews, which is a religious identity. Like I said, Nazis were in line with good old european antisemitism. Antisemtism in Germany far predates the Russian Revolution lol come on breh. Nazis per se were not specifically religious, even though they dabbled in various occult stuff and one of the plans was to "clean up" the Bible of all references to Judaism (the so called "Positives Christentum"), but either way the eradication of Judaism in Nazi Germany was one of their main goals. It doesn't get much more religious than that.

So either you have no idea of what we're talking about, or you're just the type that will dismiss whatever I say.

Another angle to look at it:

Even though the creator real The Church is all about money so agenda is pushed and USA is just one big market from its inception, let me drop an games:

The Anglican Church (really Church of England), Vatican and later the Church of Latter Day Saints have the craziest real estate portfolio globally - in all the countries they colonized including national monuments and "government" buildings, parks etc across all continents. The ownership and funds generated from land,property and church people can sit with the indeginous churches but there is a structure (even including smaller churches) where trillions are siphoned into Europe from so called independent countries.. all tax free

And this is only the transparent part to those who can be bothered to research

*no tinfoil*

It's the same with the other major religions but that's another threads

Its more like 90% of the story...... and you really gon bring up the Cold War in regards to this? and far left groups played a minor role at best... aint no revision over here

Bottom line.... spiritual leaders sparked, powered it, and saw it through as long as they were living..... and that pretty much applies to any revolt or movement in regards to the slave trade and beyond....

all were spiritual

If you think the CRM would have gone the way it did if the USSR wasn't in existence, you're as big a fool as the people desperately searching for salvation through heavily edited religious text.

Money. If tithes were scrapped tomorrow you'd find out who is in it for the Word real quick. Real real quick. No resignation letter. Just gonna stop showing up and numbers are getting blocked.

Never been a fool..... But if that's what them ivory towers taught you, do you.....

Manipulating political climate has always been a tool in trying to change public policy...

First and foremost, why would I study European history..... 2nd, that wiki has in essence a disclaimer at the very beginning of the article, and if I'm not mistaken, the last war that could remotely be labeled a "religious war" happened about 400 years ago, so you, nor 19 generations of your prior lineage were here to get a social pulse for an entire continent to say that it was "too" religious and effected your day to day.. also, those death tolls include disease, famine, and other things.....

And as far as the nazi/Jew thing, you can say my statement was propaganda, but I'm sure they're historians who would agree with what I stated.... losers don't get to write the tales

Old cacs that wont die off because life expectancy has risen due to the advancement of science
Middle aged minorities teaching the religion of slave masters to their children.
Most men will pretend to be religious to get p*ssy, and good luck finding a black woman that doesnt believe in her fake white Jesus.

compared to Europe and Canada

TV and media in the USA are very heavily saturated with Christian themes and values

Christian propeganda is even the very thing that makes perverse sexual acts even appear thrilling for being taboo in the first place.

Church and state are not seperated in America

I gotta get out of here

Basically Europe have more open ideologies and historically Canada is an extension of Europe.

What's funny to me is if you change the religion and the country, you be negged to death.

Our elected officials can't get elected w/o mentioning God. We swear on the Bible for legal cases. In God we trust is on our money. Our president ends his speeches with"good bless America". We house some of most populous and diverse collection of religions in human history. Large chunks of the nation govern the personal lives of its citizens based on their religious views. Some regions still prohibit the buying and selling of alcohol on the "Lord's day".



how are we not a religious country

Obama's muslim heritage had half the country up in arms.

Like people were really losing their shyt that his middle name was Hussein

America is still very much a protestant nation

It's a different story in larger cities

So what are you even talking about if you didn't study it?

 

[hayesc0]

America hasn't been religious in centuries.....

Yes it is . Now if you want to argue if it's religious only when convenient it's always been that way.

 

[hayesc0]

There's Sharia law in Europe. What are you even talking about....

That doesn't mean it's more religious as a whole.

 

[hayesc0]

What's wrong with being religious? Maybe if more folks grew up in the church we wouldn't have folks rapping about killing and folks going around doing dumb shyt

Bullshyt not consistent with reality at all.
