Some people in America are religious; America is not.
America is the home of hollywood, radical feminism, THE Kardashian, porn and Bruce Jenner.

Your opinion.
I don't even go to church or consider myself religious, but my mom had us in church for a bit growing up. Nothing wrong with leaning good morals & values
Lol... Think again. Slowed down? Yeah. Completely stopped? Nah...
No its not opinion church doesn't teach good morals all the time not even close and people been doing dumb shyt even when the world was much more religious.
That's a very Christian centric pov and doesn't prove the country isnt religious. If anything it further proves the ops point.

Nope. Every neutral observer will see that, unless you have a very broad idea of what a "so religious" country is.
I disagree and further more religion has always been wildly contradictory peoplethroughout history have fought holy wars. Literally killing in the name of God lol.

It has nothing to do with America.
America mainstream - popular culture is vastly indifferent to religion.
So you just gonna ignore what I actually said?

What you said has nothing to do with the topic. The question is whether or not religion is coherent with itself; the question is whether America si very religious.
You've talked about holy wars. But holy wars are the sign that a country is religious, not the opposite.

The death estimates by those trying to get rid of religion dwarf those 'estimates' by about 50 to 1 in China ALONE.
You could try and throw in the Holocaust, but that'd be disingenuous since that was ALSO during a secular war, not religiously motivated by any stretch of the imagination according to Hitler himself. Even then, the Soviet Union beat that number in one year.
There were only 2 'Crusades' that were religiously motivated, the first two.......out of a total of ten. The remaining 8 were ALL for money since Knights were generally poor. War was good for their economic situation.
The former Soviet Union killed more scientists and minorities than ALL the Crusades + Inquisition combined.

No holy wars are a contradiction to most major religions. My point is religious people have always contradicted themselves.
