[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, America is progressive enough, why don't you go to Saudi Arabia and spread your message there?

So religion &lt;&gt; progressive?[/quote]

Religion, with all my respect, is a control mechanism. It's not really influential in America, and that assumes both negative and positive factors.
But majorly religious countries have nothing to give to the world. [b]Look at the ME, what is their input to the world development - science, progressive technologies, medicine, etc? Zero. [/b]Religion makes them useless dead weight.

Everything in moderation)))

How is religion "not influential" in America? The country is rabidly religious. Evangelicals delivered Trump the White House and he's paying them back by pretending to be a Christian and writing toothless religious freedom executive orders and promoting Jerry Falwel Jr. to a committee on higher education. We have rednecks in Tennessee trying to "teach the controversy in public schools. We have state legislatures tying to put the Ten Commandments on public land. We have Evangelical neocons trying to instigate war with Iran because their strange fascination with Israel (God favors them, and the reasons related to the rapture) and we have missionaries all over the world spreading a message of hatred for gays and contraception in places with AIDS. So yes, religion is pretty ingrained in this place. Puritan culture never left. It definitely f*cked up Native American and Hawaiian culture that's for sure. Anyway, some idiot from a mega church in Reston or some cozy, insular suburb will probably respond to this and say "you have no idea about religion! There are subtle differences!" Honestly, organized religion is a bunch of fairy tales.[/quote]
