Seriously, the USA does not have a monopoly on atheism -.- There are heaps of atheists in other countries and plenty of religious conflict going around. It's just the american ego + poor education + fundamentalist christianity creates for an obnoxious personality that any sane person would argue with. We have hardcore christians in Aus but they're generally just not as 'in your face' with their beliefs. | ||

That's probably true to some extent. There are hardly any theists what so ever in sweden, at least not around my age. Those that are tend to be very private about their faith. The US on the other hand seems like it's split right down the middle with evangelists on one side and atheists on the other. | ||

So answer the very broad generalization that is anti-american with another very broad generalization equally unfounded that is pro american. Nice. (reverse the anti/pro if you are not an atheist) | ||

And no, has nothing to do with him being American. I've seen this happen plenty during my travels. The insecure people get big mouths with alcohol, better than big fists i guess. | ||

Once she also asked me if Napoleon and Julius Cesar were around the same era -.- And I mean she is far from being the dumbest girl around (she's doing fine at the university and shit), but I must admit being european but now living in canada I clearly find the average north american less cultivated. Of course there are still more educated people. | ||
