I pretty much avoid discussing politics and religion/philosophy altogether while drinking UNLESS I know the friend I'm with can keep a civil discussion even after a couple of beers.

Religion is just bad. Seriously seriously bad. Poison if you will.

Free your mind from the poison and the world opens up to you in ways otherwise impossible.

the only reason you see it so much more in USA than other countries is because there are actually Athiests here that the theists will argue with. in most other countries people are just the same only they are mostly all in agreement with each other so it doesnt show since there is no conflict.
If you want peace... prepare for war.

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.

you only really see it in first world countries. which do not make up the majority of the worlds population.

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.

Just like others said in the thread so far don't think that one person reflects on a whole nation, don't also think that one person reflects on a whole religion.

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)

Discussion while drunk? Sad! That just means he's not confident enough to present them sober, probably because he knows it's all bs.

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.

discussions while inebriated dont usually go well. mix in sensitive topics like religion/politics/philosophy and you have a disaster.

When my girlfriend wasn't able to tell it is the moon that revolves around the earth I kinda lost hope for a cultivated environment here in north america : /

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.
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
