This whole post is a non-sequitir.
Op was about religious ideas from the 1600s that were far from uniquely American. They’re an ingredient! But let’s not get carried away with the 7th grade social studies stuff.
- njharman 5y agoI'd say OP meant puritanism as it evolved in USA after those puritans were driven out of Europe to new world. Most of W Europe doesn't seem aligned with 1600 views today. Significant parts of US culture is aligned with 17-1800 us puritanism views.

- thereare5lights 5y agoApparently it's 7th grade social studies stuff to note that the Puritans that were driven out of Europe were far more militant and fundamentalist, hence why they decided to leave in the first place, to be able to practice their far out of the mainstream religious practices. And continuing out 7th grade social studies stuff, we then note that Western civilization in Europe evolved far differently when it came to religious influence on society compared to America. We literally have cereal and circumcision as methods to curb masturbation. Do you see anything like that in Europe? It's not even close.
