Yes, reading this thread as someone from the UK makes me realise the US is very different culturally from the UK. I'm sure the proportion of people for whom religion is important in their lives is much much smaller in the UK than the US. I think most British people only encounter religion at Christmas and weddings, unless they're of a religious minority group.
- cronix 6y agoThe US's First Amendment deals with that, in great part to get away from the (at the time) Church of England and prevent that (mixing church and state) from happening here. It doesn't logically surprise me that the country who left that scenario to worship freely has higher numbers of religious people 300 years later than in the country that still lived under much of the corruption for a longer period of time.
- TinkersW 6y agoIt isn't evenly distributed and the US doesn't have one culture, plenty of Americans never encounter much religion, particularly in the Western US which is overall less religious.
