The Brits weigh in on American religious wars


The Economist's May 26th editon has an article that seeks to answer, "Why is America still so prone to wars of religion?" It's definitely a blast, and the image above taken from the article should speak for itself, but I'll try my best to add something.

I totally agree that America is a country at war with itself. And to tell the truth, I'm pretty happy that we're fighting. I mean, it's ideological and not physical fighting, after all. Democracy is still the "best bad" system of government, and the only way you'd guarantee silence in America is through undemocratic means. It will be a sad day if religion was comatose in America, as in Europe. The same goes for secularists, those bastards.
