Why not also point out in the graph, most Muslim countries are poor. Muslim countries also seem to have a greater muslim influence in the government too. In the US we've kept the church out of government but tried to keep at least some of the morals at the same time.
This guy definitely has an angle going on. Perhaps instead, the US is a good example of how a moral system based on a higher power instead of man, natural rights, can help create a government and country better than the rest as long as it keeps the church (in my mind the political arm of religion) away from government. Instead of being an anomaly, we are the goal.

But as an American you probably think that all non-Americans are anti-Americans and, therefore, you don't give a shit.
- Ayjay 16y agoI think he was just pointing out an alternative conclusion. I think it is an interesting point that the world's only superpower is also unique in the relgion-to-wealth factor. I'm not convinced that's what causes it, but it's certainly possible. Australian, btw. -- Ayjay on Fedang
